from one session to the next, however, I do think you could do something
where the components stand alone but could be brought together in one
session. For instance, maybe one session each: =20
create a stand alone comic strip,=20
use an image editor with layers to drop in additional images into the
frames,=20
find interesting sound effects,=20
organize the sound effects according to the visual of the strip,=20
build a PowerPoint using the components accumulated so far,=20
add voice-over,=20
etc.
Just a thought.

Subject: Re: any ideas for a 1 shot computer class?
I would probably do a project based assignment using technology.
- Make a quick film
- Make a radio podcast
- Do something neat with photoshop
- Put a computer back together
- Solve puzzles by finding information online besides Googling
everything
