(2009, May) The A/V Club Next Generation. Technology and Learning. 29(10), 27-28, 30-31. Retrieved October 13, 2010, from Wilson Web database.

This article explores how 3 teachers with various backgrounds transformed learning in their schools with the aid of digital media.

The first one is a teacher with a digital media background transformed a high school communications department with creative usage of modern media applications. He guides the students through the applications to create a digital portfolio that can be used for finding jobs after graduation. The school district invested in his program when he was able to convince them that digital media is used in all industries today. He stresses that these classes will make them better prepared for any job and the projects are as realistic as possible. A list of applications and hardware used in the class is given.

The other teachers focused on in the article made their own mark in their classrooms with a variety of mediums such as SMART Boards, to Google Earth, to social networking. This article overall will be of great help to my project because it gives realistic and highly varying examples of successful video creation incorporation into classrooms.
