Our first assignment!

Hi, SWAT parents and students.
These next two weeks, we are learning how to create Animoto short clips. Our Animoto clips will include information about ourselves and our interests. We will be adding appropriate pictures, photos, music and text that represents ourselves to our clips. These Animoto shorts will be only a few minutes long. But we will need more than a few minutes to complete this project! Please remember, we are the creator of the clip, not parents or guardians. We have received many directions about creating the clips from SWAT teachers. If you would like to see a complete Animoto clip, go to Mr. Clinton Dulworth's website or Mrs. Stacie Hutchen's website. Remember to click on 'website' and not their names. Thanks!
SWAT team member,

Our first Week of SWAT

WOW!!! I am so excited at how many of our great Galatas Greyhounds are excited about technology. We never imaged the interest in the program would be so great. We've had to split into separate meetings to accommodate. What a great problem to have!!!
Our first session was a huge success. We discussed our SWAT contracts and all committed to making this a very successful endeavor. Each of our Top Dog SWAT members has agreed to being an all-around excellent citizen in order to stay in SWAT.
We got signed into Moodle and answered our first discussion question. Everyone had great insights, and it was exciting to find out why everyone joined SWAT.
Mr. Dulworth and I are looking forward to our next exciting SWAT session!
