Your blogging is being read!
This is a message that I got this week from ScreenNation. Remember, when you publish to a blog, the world is hearing your voice! Make it COUNT!
Mrs. Morrow-
Just a quick note to that you for featuring ScreenNation as part of your classroom assignment.
The team here at the AFI ScreenEd Center got a lot out of reading your students' honest assessment of the new site. As we continue our roll-out many of their comments will inform how the site will look and feel.
I'm very interested in in they types of projects you are producing with your students. I hope you will encourage them to upload and exhibit on Screenantion. We plan to issue our first filmmaking challenge around the theme "Hometown Claim to Fame" early next week.
You can see how other educators have used filmmaking in their practice and shared them on ScreenNation.
Here is a playlist of Shakespeare adaptations

Here is one of Frankenstein adaptations.

Please stay in touch. Welcome to ScreenNation! Best Frank Guttler
