My class is structured as a fun and creative environment, and I want my students to be involved. When I'm editing a video during the week, students will also be editing a video at the exact same time. During the course, students will be able to ask questions and interact with me. All students will eventually present their videos to demonstrate their own unique editing skills. They will be uploading their videos to our discussion area.
