iMac We are extremely fortunate to have an iMac in our classroom! Do not save anything onto the computer itself. You need to have a flash/thumb drive!

Recording Equipment We have a video camera that you are able to use to create your own movie. It is in camera bag #4 A lot of the same expectations apply to it that are already expected of you for the regular cameras Use the hand/wrist strap Make sure it is turned off and put away properly You’re responsible for it Make sure the lens is covered when you are finished There is a switch near the front of the camera. If you take a few moments with the camera, you will become an expert at using it in no time!

Recording Equipment You are also able to use your own device or equipment. You must do this respectfully and without it being a distraction to our learning community. You must provide your own cord to connect your device to the computer.
