Digital Story #6 -

Students:
Digital Story presentation schedules will be sent to your HCT Webmail accounts. Come on your date (everyone should be in the room at the beginning of class) to present and take notes of the other presentations. If you can’t make the date you agreed to then switch with someone else – the dates are fully booked! 

Your Final Blog Portfolios (#6) are due on the date of your presentation with:
1.    1.Story script (in Word form)
2.    2. Storyboard screen shot (from your Movie Maker OR I Movie site)
3.    3. Your complete Digital Story – uploaded as a video OR link.
No video upload = minus 50% off your digital grade
  
4.    4. Notes done in class as an audience member – I have the form  - hand in that day!
I’ll use the final class period to answer questions, and check scripts and storyboards. See you then.
