Using video in the classroom has enormous potential. Pupils (and teachers) are introduced to basic video editing techniques. This workshop incorporates an introduction to good story-boarding.

The combination of text, sound, animation and moving images provides a powerful means for students to learn and communicate. In this workshop students are given an opportunity to explore the possibilities of multimedia using ICT.

5. Broadcasting

Visual Communicator is a fun broadcasting application that allows students to devise and deliver their own miniprogramme on any subject of their choice.
