Mrs. Thorpe's Class Video

Mrs. Thorpe's class has been writing letters to penpals in Germany! They have been learning about similarities and differences between the cultures. As a culminating activity Mrs. Thorpe's class produced a video to share additional information about their school and where they live. Mrs. Thorpe used the Flip video and Windows Movie Maker. She was amazed at how easy it was to use the camera and then to import several movie clips to make one video. Now you know who to contact if you would like to make a video with your class!
