- In groups of 4, you will create a 4-5 minute technology tv show containing recent and different technology news stories using your phone, FlipCam (or your own camera) and export the finished file to YouTube or a QuickTime file or similar program viewable on my computer to be played in class. Each student must present their own article.

- Your goal is to be entertaining about your tech newscast so decide on news that interest you. DO NOT READ your news, converse it.

- Your newscast will be assessed using a rubric on the following categories: 

* audio * video * dialogue * time management * entertainment/informative

You should create a script that will be be practiced in order to complete the time management portion.
