All of the 4th grade famous Marylander podcasts are now available in the Student Project Gallery.
In addition, 5th grade students recorded podcasts about the common good. These podcasts are also available for your listening pleasure.
Mrs. Beach’s 4th grade class just completed recording podcasts about famous Marylanders. You can hear them by going to the Student Project Gallery.
Check back later as Mrs. Carmona’s and Mr. McDonald’s student podcasts will be posted when they have finished recording.
Third, fourth, and fifth grade students all made posters to convey the goals they’d like to see Barack Obama accomplish as our new president. All the posters were uploaded to Animoto to create class videos. Go to the Student Project Gallery and click on the appropriate links to see the videos.

Can you type? If so, then you can make a movie. There’s a new website, xtranormal.com, that allows users to type in a script and the site will automatically generate a video from your script.

Although the fine print implies the site may cost money in the future, for the time being, it’s free! Students, please get permission from your parents before creating an account.
Here’s an example of what the videos look like. I put this brief video together in about 10 minutes:
