Having a son who has surprised me with his interest and aptitude in doing this kind of thing - I can't completely disagree. One thing he showed me was something he did taking stills of him and his friends and setting them to music - a rap song. Without going into details - it was very funny and well executed. Off-color - and something he did for his and his friends' amusement, not for school. I didn't ask too many questions, but my impression was that the tool he used was a blackmarket copy of Final Cut Pro. Because that I guess is what he was taught to use, and obviously a student cannot hope to have access to a legal copy. So I will not fight you - with the proviso that the kids are not being taught to use expensive proprietary tools. Hopefully stimulating the imagination does not need to include stimulating the criminal mind ;) Art _______________________________________________ Edu-sig mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/edu-sig
