    VideoTrailer*P2: Using Animoto.com, students will create a 30 second video that introduces the class to their P2 topic. It’s like a movie preview to the actual movie, okay? First, search and save images that connect to your P2 Topic. Brainstorm some text to use as well. Then sign up for a free Animoto account. From there, input your text and images, pick music from their music library, and they’ll email you the video when it’s complete. You can revise it after that if you wish. Once they email the link to you, and you are satisfied with the product, place the link in eCompanion so the class can view the video easily during P2 Presentation Week. Good luck and have fun! [These are due Monday; please copy and paste the link into the correct tab under P2 in eCompanion.]
    Also, you need to read some more George Carlin for Monday; I'll be presenting/attending a conference Friday.
    *Idea for the Video Trailer came from Laura Gabrion's presentation at TYCA last week.
