Here is a student created film by one of my US Literature classes.
I got the idea for this from Greg Kulowiec at History 2.0, and I decided to use it to showcase students working in groups with new technology.

After they had some good ideas going onto paper, I asked if anyone knew how to use a camera, who wanted to direct, and who knew how to put things together in Windows Movie Maker.
They truly exceeded my expectations, and this great movie is what they came up with:
