by John Terrence Mcconnell, Harry Sprouse

Bring new visibility to your school library media program and promote its strengths to all its constituencies. Learn how to teach video production as a communications tool. Use video-making to encourage reading, writing, and research and for school news shows.

Set up in a checklist format to save you time, this book is easy to apply to a particular need. Teaching lighting? Make copies of "The Lighting Checklist"—and if you need to learn about an item on the list first, there's a section on it in that chapter. All terms are defined in the glossary.
