Courtesy of the Media Alliance mail list:
"Reel Grrls is a Seattle-based media literacy program for teenage girls and they've taken on media ownership concentration. As a happy result of the Seattle FCC hearing earlier this year, Reel Grrls put out a sharp 10-minute documentary on youth and news content. A great teaching tool for those of you who work with teenagers or tweens. Yes, we've put a link to it on our website and yes, Youtube is wonderful, but we really encourage you to support youth media-making and buy a copy of the 2008 Reel Grrls Story Time Compilation DVD, which includes the film (and some other wonderful stuff, too)."

Disposable Camera Projects
Sometimes I find that my students take better pictures with disposable cameras than with digital cameras. (It's all still digital to me - I have the images put onto CD and import them into the computer regardless of origination.)
So I thought I'd do some research to find some cool new projects that would incorporate the 'old' technology of film while using a typical educator's budget. (Disposable cameras are almost 30 years old, after all.) Here's what I found:
stranger photos have happened
cameramail cameras
camera belt
diy ring flash
add a fisheye
kite camera
stereo camera in stereo
(my friend did this recently with her students - absolutely brilliant work)
double take camera
diy high speed photography
or, buy a kit for $120
or, curiously strong diy
And one cool project for a 'disposable' video camera. (Now known as flip cameras.)

Looking for some ideas for a student project with disposable cameras, I found this site: Camera Hacker: Hacks.
Some of the info is old, but there are some useful tutorials on building soft lights, and both bicycle and car camera mounts.
