Class DVDs

My teacher was telling us how her niece's elementary teacher had each kid bring a disposable camera at the beginning of the school year. She labeled each camera, for example she had one for bad hair days. When a child came to school with a bad hair day they got their picture taken. At the end of the year all the cameras were developed and the teacher made a slide show/video. She put the pictures together and added music to it. This was a great way to create a memorable portfolio for the children to keep forever. I have also had personal experience with this sort of technology because the teacher I worked for while in high school made a DVD of her students plays that they performed. When creating DVDs like this it is important to pay close attention too and follow copy write laws.
