Program Editor
Choosing the editing program ahead of time will dictate:
- So you have time to become familiar with the program in order to assist students when they need help.
- So the designated editors can receive training prior to the first day of editing.
- So there is time to install the program (if necessary) on enough computers for each group to have access.
All members of the groups must each have a job to feel significant, from teaching software as the student learns to creating the title design.
