If you work in a school with access to basic video editing software there are simple ways to create projects that do not require a lot of production time. (I put together a sample and posted it to my YouTube site - the link is at the bottom of this post.) In this project, students were assigned the task of writing an imaginary news or feature segment using Jack London's Yukon Territory as a backdrop. They were told to write a short segment (one-two minutes) using actors to do two video interviews: one "official" information source, and one victim/witness/person directly involved in the story. For pictures, instead of shooting video (which we did not have either time or access to), I told them to download copyright-safe photos from the web. These were plugged into the story between the videotaped interviews. This is so much fun and teaches every one of the new Oregon Technology Standards.
