< Return to Interwrite Makeover Video Contest The future is Interwrite
Greetings from New Zealand! Our class has had such a fantastic time making this video and we really hope you enjoy watching it, (and that you understand our unique New Zealand humour!) Our music video uses three songs: “You can’t stop the beat” from the recent Hairspray movie, “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor and a short segment of a song that needs no introduction – we wont spoil the surprise – you will have to watch our video to see ? The key line in our music video parody is “We were stuck in the past till we found Interwrite YEAH YEAH!” and in the video we contrast our struggles with our present level of technology with how we would benefit and use the Interwrite technology in the classroom. The video finishes with a short “Making of the video” segment to show some of the ways we are using technology at present. Thanks for watching! Room One (4 and 5 graders)
