My Big Takeaways from the TTF

I am excited about the idea of introducing video-making into the classroom.  I think the kids are really going to enjoy it and I think that the various cuts done in film open up possibilities for exploring various ways to interpret and understand the Torah text.  Ideally, I would want my students to be as independent as possible with the editing and posting of video, music and pdf's.  As I ease into this, I imagine that I will be handling a lot of the final production elements and am a bit concerned about how much time that will take.  I think that I would benefit from further exploration of easy to use technology for the students to be empowered to complete the project themselves.

Wikispaces is a great, simple to use tool for my classroom.  I have been sending out weekly e-mails with assignments and class summaries but would be better served compiling it all onto wiki.
