The Incredible Hour!
Heather Chirtea , President, Tool Factory
Get ready to explore some of the most amazing technology innovations for education. We’ll start with a standard digital camera to explore super-macro, and panorama modes and demonstrate claymation shooting tips. We’ll employ a screen reader to speak the text in English or Spanish then using a standard microphone we’ll use our voices to control the movement of characters in a game. Free copy of MultiMedia Lab V (worth $99), and subscription to Elementary Zone for all who attend.
