3. Why Vodcast? For the same reasons that we do PowerPoint Projects or Podcast. To give students new, fresh projects that not only demonstrate their knowledge of the material, but give them new and imaginative ways to do so. Vodcasting, with the addition of blue screening, can give students limitless options to express themselves.

5. Step 1 – Clear Guidance Like any Student Project, clear guidance is essential in a clear outcome. This is more important in a Video Project where students are given more opportunity to express individual or group creativity. Rubrics make the best way to ensure material is covered while still giving flexibility. Sample

6. Step 2 – Have Students Generate Concrete Ideas Brainstorm Filter and decide Create a cohesive storyboard Create a script Decide roles
