2009 Innovation Showcase
Teaching for seven years, I started at Collingwood College before working in a specialist Media College in London. I am now a senior media-studio art teacher at Fitzroy High working with a team of innovative educators all dedicated to the integration and exploration of the new digital frontier.
Digital tutorials - My "show me" presentation.
Using video cameras, screen-capture technology and digital editing software, students document their progress as they create digital tutorials. While digital tutorials became invaluable measures of their learning, they also became crucial learning tools in themselves when shared on a YouTube page for the whole class to access.

Discover the uses of these cool learning tutorials to make your teaching more effective.
