MS: More Video Production Class Questions

[Melinda White <mwhite2@MICKEY.ESD113.WEDNET.EDU>]

Thanks to all of you who replied to my July 11 inquiry. I received many
helpful suggestions and have followed up on many of them, acquiring books
that were recommended.  Wanted to ask again in case this message was
missed by anyone.

I have been hired as MS LMS but have to teach 25-30 seventh-graders one
period a day in a class in video production. It has never been taught in
the building, and all I know is that I am to develop the curriculum and
teach the class with 2 S-VHS camcorders and one video-editing setup. I
would rather have a smaller class to be able to achieve more "hands-on",
plus more equipment, but I'll take my "five loaves and 2 fishes" and make
it work.

Any suggestions you can give me would be appreciated. I have had little
training in this area, but am eager to learn.

Please reply to me personally as I don't always have time to read through
the 100's of daily postings on LM_NET so have currently "set nomail."

Thanks a lot!
