Click the hyperlink below. The 4th grade 'Virtual Tour of Paris' was shot with a Flip mini video camera and made using Adobe Premiere Elements. The backgrounds are photos from the internet that you layer under your video at the touch of a button. The key is shooting your footage using a green background, in this case two strips of green paper from the teacher's lounge. Then voila you're transported magically to Paris, or anywhere for that matter! The photo at the bottom was made with Photoshop. Think of Adobe Premiere as the Photoshop of video. The last whip cream on the top is the presentation tool. Glogster, which eliminates the need to send a huge file via internet by conveniently hosting the video for you at the touch of a button! Glogster.com/edu was made for educators for this purpose, for sharing your creative and innovative projects and those of your students. Come to both classes and the world is yours! -- J
