E-Comics & E-Movies

I have decided to do a refined version of my Integrateable Projects that Students Love presentation for the next E-Learning Conference. This time I am showcasing Xtranormal as an E-movie tool as I think that the teachers will recognize just how much potential this film maker will have.
I have spoken the the creator of Dfilms and now to the creator of Xtranormal and they are both considering (or planning) to make a "school" safe version that will allow students to use these with minimal licensing. In addition, I am so firmly behind the use of these products in schools that i have tested them out in the classroom and even with primary students. I am looking forward to sharing some of the results at this months conference. I will be adding a video of the PPT and a copy of the handout that I will be giving at the conference as soon as they are completed.

I do so love presenting at conferences. And since my style is very much to let the students (or in this case my colleagues) to do the work, it always ends up being a great workshop where people walk away with something tangeable in their minds.
