I thought I would make a tutorial for how to send a DVD through the Internet.
I am in Germany and need to send a DVD image to Florida for my brother to burn to a playable DVD movie disc. Snail mail and the delays in international customs processing will make for a slow delivery.

Welcome to Edison Elementary School in Kalamazoo, Michigan: A magnet school with new multimedia production facilities. I recently led a video journalism workshop with a core group of classroom teachers where I taught them how to make effective video reports. (Teachers call training “professional development”)
One of my Camp Video Journalism Orlando students, Anthony Gettig, produced this short video report from that week. Listen to the teachers - see the excitement on their faces.

Last week I shared some tips for journalists using Twitter in a live Webinar for the World Editors Forum.
