Blog notes:
 * Students given the option to choose media ( movie, web quest, book, podcast, webpages, etc) what matches their strengths, but need to work with a new technology
 * Rubric established
 * Students submit a proposal of project for approval
 * Stop prescribing what the teacher wants, let them determine the project idea based on the rubric
 * Teacher not responsible to 'know' all the programs, let the students help each other (ask at least 2 students before you ask teacher)
 * Have a tech support person available occasionally to 'put out fires'
 * Let the students sign out the laptops overnight (CFF laptops are signed out by the classroom teacher overnight)
 * Halfway through project - storyboards required (examples for movies, podcasts, etc) - graded
 * Projects require a lot of time from start through presentation
 * Follow-up; students should reflect on the products
