4. How can I get my students to make good movies about content?

How do I get started?

• You’ll need– a computer with internet access– a browser with Flash Player and Java– a headset and mic (if you’re recording)

• Go to http://www.primaryaccess.org

• Log in with the name and password on your paper

Let’s watch a movie!

Why would I ask students to do this?

• STUDENT SIDE: primaryaccess.org– load assigned activities– make movies

• TEACHER SIDE: primaryaccess.org/teacher– create activities– create classes– manage student accounts– add images to the database

Teaching with PrimaryAccess
