Kids Make Pro-looking Newscasts

Many schools have mini television stations in them. However, unless you have the funds to spend on powerful video editing software such as Apple Final Cut or Adobe Premier Pro, you may need a more practical alternative. Unlike the two programs mentioned above, in-depth training is not required for a product called Adobe Visual Communicator. Using this $150-300 program, the average 5th grader could make a semi-professional newscast in about 15 minutes. This is great for students to use to make reports more exciting by preparing a video report instead of a traditional report. If you feel like you do not know enough about production, watch the following video. It may help the beginner get TV broadcasts up and running at a low cost.

Affordable Tech Cables

Have you ever bought new equipment and found out that the cost of the cables and adapters needed is almost as much as the equipment?

Try looking at www.monoprice.com

Monoprice has cables, adapters, TV mounts etc at a fraction of the cost of most vendors I have seen. It has been my experience that their quality is great and shipping is timely. This can save you hundreds each year. They also offer printer cartridges at a fraction of the cost. I have had one printer cartridge order that I was not pleased with, but I am very pleased with most everything I order from them.
