 **Welcome to Slatington Elementary's Tech Wizard, Jr. Page!**  ======

**Advisor:** //Kori Dibilio//
 * Student Participants:** //Rebecca, Meghan, and Kasey//

As Tech Wizards, it is our job to attend seminars provided by the Carbon Lehigh Intermediate Unit. During these seminars, we will learn about new technologies that can be used at home and in our classrooms. Once we have learned about a new technology, we will return to our school and be given an opportunity to share the information with our teachers and classmates.
 * __ Our Job:  __**

We plan to share our new knowledge with our teachers by attending faculty meetings. We will be creating projects with our advisor to share during these meetings. Samples of our work will be posted on this Wikispace. We would also like to share information with the school board. Finally, we plan to use the technology we learn about by creating projects related to our school studies. Once we complete a project, it can be shared with our classmates by our teacher. Then, other students will be encouraged to use the programs.  During our October seminar, we learned how to use the program, PhotoStory. PhotoStory is a program that is similar to Windows Movie Maker, only easier to use. We learned how to import pictures, place them on a story board, manipulate the images, add text and add sound to our movies. It is a very cool program and we were even thinking of ways we could use this at home, as well as school.

 * Windows Movie Maker **

During our last seminar, we learned how to use Windows Movie Maker. This program combines video, images and audio to create movies. We created some sample movies and had a great time playing around with the different features the program has to offer. This program is the same program that was used to create our morning announcements in the past. Once a project in movie maker has been completed, it can be saved and played through Windows Media Player. Hopefully, we will all have an opportunity to take video of our friends and family and put them on the big screen!
