YOUR PRODUCT

A video, photographic and audio record of the development of the above other business products. This is an essential product and one team has to undertake it.

One of your final products will be the record of this WebQuest Project.

You will also have a business as well - a Multimedia Business where you will sell your services as experts in making Videos, or Short Films, or become a Photographic or Audio Studio.

YOUR TASK

Your job will be to learn how to use the video, digital camera and audio equipment to record what happens each week in the other groups.

You will edit the final product so the community can see what you all have been doing.

You will help the other groups as well - especially the group making the Audio story books, Jigsaws and the cookbook.

However, even though this team will be recording the other teams and their progress, you will also be making your own business - a Multimedia Business.

GETTING STARTED

Here are some ideas to help you along the way......to running "My Business Rules"
