Please edit to reflect activities; there must be evidence that each participant spent equal district time working collaboratively with others. This may look slightly different than what was written in the grant due to the differences in Elem/MS calendars. I'll also need to get sign in sheets and send each person time sheets.

Understand the difference between project area and event clips. 6. Recording video and audio in photo booth. 7. Voice overs. 8. Stop/start with the space bar. 9. Drop down menus. 10. Themes for cute borders/graphics--do before adding transitions because it will do them for you! 11. Titles--Drag and Drop--they are represented by the green flags; audio is a blue flag.

1. New Equipment Overview and discussion New computers will be used as a "Studio" production station (this can be in the corner of the library or an attached office with student access).

2. Work Session Wow!! We got a lot done!!

Karen and Linda created an __**BookTube Intro template on iMovie**__. Linda will get a teacher at here school to create a audio overlay. The movie has been posted on the Template Page on the BookTube wiki.

Laura created a __**BookTube logo**__ to be used on promotional materials and as a closing credit on BookTube movies. Laura and Linda posted the logo on the Template Page of the BookTube wiki.

Meg created a __**primary rubric**__ for teachers and students and posted it on the Template page of the BookTube Wiki. An intermediate rubric will be completed at our next work session.

Donna created intermediate and a primary __**scripts**__ for students and teachers to use. The scripts can be followed exactly or used a starting point for students to create their own.
