RationalDuring the 2008-2009 school year my principal attended a

conference where a teacher shared about using green screen technology in the classroom. She came back excited and ready to make it happen in our school. We were already equipped with Flip Video Cameras and she made a trip to the local fabric store and returned with a large piece of green fabric. We had no idea what we were getting into, but it’s been a worthy adventure. In the beginning we had a lot of software challenges, but have since been able to purchase Adobe Premiere Elements and Adobe Photoshop Elements to create the green screen effect. The problem is at this point only our Technology Coach and myself know how to use this software. With increasing interest from other staff members to use green screen technology in the classroom, I feel it’s important to offer training to other staff members so they too can utilize this highly engaging video technique.

What is Green Screen

If you’ve ever watched the weather you’ve seen green screen in action.

Another name for green screen is Chroma Key.

It’s a creative, highly engaging way for students to demonstrate their learning through video and image creation.

Green screen involves the removing of all the green color in the video or image and replacing it with a background of your choosing.

How do I make it happen?

Facilitate the production of your student videos just like you would any other video, but this time when you do the final recording, do it in front of the green screen. Make sure your students are not wearing green.

Follow along on your handout as we demonstrate the process.*
