=Project Description= Technology in School: The Student View

We used various resources available to us through World2Kids Systems and our friends at Lancaster High School to create a feature video showing the various types of technology available to teachers and students. We also interviewed students and teachers about their opinions on the technology and how it helps them to teach/learn. Total editing time was about 15 hours. Total render time for High Definition was about 29 hours.
