Student production teams uploaded their videos and still images from the digital cameras to lab desktop computers and/or Mobile Computing Initiative Mac laptops. Mini-lessons and teacher conferencing supported effective file management, quality assessment of individual files, introduction to movie creation software (Movie Maker and iMovie) and searches for online images and sound files. Students were instructed to use copyright permissible images and sounds found online, in consideration of the Copyright Guidelines detailed on the Images & Media page of the school library website and best supported by searches on http://creativecommons.org/ . Production teams worked together in terms of project management, to collate files, sequences clips, match audio and visual elements and create the mood and message that was planned in the original storyboard. Text was inserted to develop promotional slogans and add production credits. Individuals took the time to schedule extra lab time and add final production elements to complete the project. Once all the projects were submitted, the whole class viewed each other’s digital book trailers for enjoyment and peer assessment.
