Welcome back to the 2008-2009 BVWEST Productions Blog.  We are updating the site with new and old web 2.0 tools.  Please help us by responding to posts and providing feedback.  If you have any questions, please contact the library media specialists, Becca Munson or Amanda Davis.

Goals:  To provide an interactive venue to share student work globally

Goals:  To display student work that demonstrates the ethical use of information by utilizing public domain music, images, and other creative works from designated  websites and student creation

Goals:  To further show how students have opportunities to embed 21st Century Skills with their content projects

U.S. History classes

The library media specialists collaborated with Mr. Anderson to create an engaging and interactive activity with World War II topics.  Each student had a WWII topic/section;  they completed the three part assignment to communicate their findings and create discussion using the Voicethread.  (See handout for information – Voicethread).

For a complete listing of voicethreads, go to U.S. History Project.   

12/2007:  Students in Contemporary Issues created a Public Service Announcement for a specific issue they researched throughout the semester.  Students were required to have a two minute video using Windows Movie Maker or iMovie.  Music and images must be public domain to follow copyright guidelines for publishing to the web. 

See Ms. Grimes web page for more details:  http://www.bv229.k12.ks.us/bvw_jgrimes/contemporary_issues.htm or to access the resources, see the public domain wiki:  http://bvwpublicdomain.wikispaces.com/.
