Teacher Tips and Notes:
What strategies are recommended regarding logistics, preparation, classroom

More effort is put into the editing process for the finished project. If possible have each student on their own computer. Save to the desktop until the whole project is complete then save to disk. Advise students to do Internet research at home and save images to floppy disks or other storage device. |
