I forwarded the site to other teachers in our school. We've all been scratching our heads as to the best method of using technology in the schools. Many teachers use software to type reports, construct presentations of information for the primary intent of learning how to use specific software, but few really tap into the power of presenting information that makes a difference in the community we live in. The arts are also perceived as 'artsy' which means therapeutic or fun not as a valid form of communication. This shifts the emphasis on media education explored through the arts. Nice job.
