Technology Tips of the Week: WeVideo (Continued, again) 

Did you know? 

Exeter High School has "video production guidelines" outlined in the school handbook? Here is the low down...

Guidelines for Video Production at EHS (from EHS Student Handbook)

1. All projects will require the submission of a storyboard (script) to the teacher for approval before the actual filming begins. No approved storyboard, no project, and no credit. In addition, the teacher must also approve changes in the storyboard after production begins as they are made.

 2. All projects should adhere to the standards described by a PG rating in professional cinema. (See http://tms.ecol.net/movies/ratings.htm) The following caveats will apply to this standard. Any use of nudity is specifically disallowed. Any use of violence or profanity must be determined to be essential to the purpose of the project and approved by the teacher within the context of the storyboard. 

3. Any use of material subject to copyright will be within the guidelines of “Fair Use for student projects” (See http://www.adec.edu/admin/papers/fair10-17.html for the full text of these guidelines or http://mciu.org/~spjvweb/guidelines.html for a good summary). Teachers should review and summarize these guidelines with students as necessary prior to the start of any project. 

4. Teachers are strongly advised to pre-screen all projects before they are presented in class.

 5. No illegal or unsafe activities will be tolerated as a part of the project or in the production of the project.

 6. No content, which is in any way derogatory to individuals or groups of individuals, will be tolerated. 

 I created a handy Storyboard Template using Google Drawings for you to use with your students.
