DPS PB WORKS FOR THEATRE!

Okay, this is pretty cool! As I began to explore the DPS PB Works categories of instruction, I was almost positive that I would have to create one for Theatre . . . but, lo 'n behold!! My theatre-teachin' buddy Karen Newell had already set one up! WOOT!! So, I excitedly began adding resources to this page . . . and I look forward to adding much more! I am going to inform my district colleagues about this DPS Theatre PB Works page in our gathering at the beginning of the year. How cool would it be if ALL OF US made it a point to contribute to this page??!! I will create a LESSON PLAN page that we can all share resources on :)

Here's a link to the DPS PB Works Theatre page that I added resources to!

WIKI, WACKY, WHAT??

As I moved forward through my DPS Tech Challenge I began my investigation of Wikipedia. I have, of course, used Wikipedia previous to this . . . but never dared to edit the content of its pages! I found a Durham School of the Arts Wiki page and found that someone had posted an article on a play that I directed called THE LARAMIE PROJECT (2005). Our play was picketed by a bunch of haters from the Fred Phelps Westboro Baptist Church . . . hence the big publicity splash and being awarded a 2005 INDY Award :) I'm not sure who the author was, but there were a few mistakes . . . so I corrected them!

ANIMOTO HAS MOJO!

I have discovered the wonderful world of Animoto through my DPS Summer Technology Challenge! The video in the right sidebar is my first attempt :) I wasn't able to do much with the *free* program, it only recorded 30 seconds of song and video - so I purchased a year long subscription. I think it will be very useful in promoting our productions and department. It could also come in handy as an introduction to my unit on the history of theatre! Animoto provides endless possibilities with the visuals and large music library. I'm looking forward to making another Animoto . . . it's kind of addicting!
