18. Judges comments
™ It was a real pleasure to watch the category award winning
videos . There was a wonderful variety of innovative
outcomes. It is great to be able to see technology through
the eyes of students after they have researched it and on a
global scale. There were videos that nearly brought tears,
videos that made me laugh and other videos that had
wonderful learning opportunities. Some very deserving
videos did not make it through to the overall winners stage
as music sources, images and video clips were not cited. It is
important that this is done as copyright issues may arise. It
is also important to acknowledge the students who provided
the outsourced clips. Congratulations to all the winners and
to all who participated in this exciting project.

19. Design and Technical
™ The videos were well planned and thought out with
few technical glitches. There was variety in
presentation, transitions, mixes of mulit-media and a
number of tools were used to publish the final
outcomes. Some videos featured music mixes to great
effect and sound effects often added to the engagement
of the audience.

20. Synthesis and Construction
of Ideas
™ It was great to see the creativity and innovation in the
finalist videos. There were a variety of themes from
stories to first person narratives through to innovation
and prediction. Some great quotes were mentioned to
enforce the themes. The evidence of collaboration is
always extra special as this is a highlight and evidence
of being involved in Flat Classroom Projects. However,
it is always important to credit this. Content was well
edited, organized and presented. Again it is always
essential to ensure that featured work is royalty or
copyright free and that urls are provided to credit the
sources of music, images and video clips.
