Students were given the task to create a new product and also a commercial to promote the product. Here are their ideas!
• Commercials • Daily Value Straw • Don't Tip The Trash Can • Stick of Wonder • SuperWand • The It •
For the first time, we used the new Flip cameras, instead of traditional MiniDV tape cameras, and we liked them (so easy to use).
We had the students promote the Flip camera. Enjoy their ideas! We certainly did.
