In order to get Qik on your phone, go to this website with your phone: http://d.qik.com into your mobile browser.   Or you can go to the Qik download page and get a text message sent to your phone. If you know the exact model of your phone, you can find it on this page as well.

DIRECTIONS FOR QIK USERS:

Create a group of at least 4 participants

Come up with an original skit (bonus points for leaving the classroom and being MOBILE with your mobile tool) that involves 4 characters

1) A student who just won a presitigous award

2) The teacher

3) The media specialist

4) The web master

Together, you must create a video that utilize a communication plan that can do the following:

A) Who needs to be notified about this award and how will you communicate it?

B) What is the key message that you want the audience to know and why should it be important to them

C) What action should the audience take after they receive this information?

D) What is the last thing your audience will remember and take away with them?

Your video can either be an example of what you would like to communicate about the student, or perhaps the four characters brainstorming on how they could come up with this communication plan.

Once you are finished, upload to the Qik site. Or go a step further and try to post it into your own blog or web site.
