K for ME: Green Screen Creation
This session, part of the K for ME Technology Supplemental series, looks at green screen technology. It may seem intimidating at first, but the basics are fairly simple and allow for tremendous creativity. While having a professional green screen is helpful, teachers have been “hacking” this technology for years with green clothing, green tents, puppets on green sticks, green screen boxes and even green playdough. Teachers can transport themselves anywhere and students’ imaginative play can go to a new level.
