Video Storyboard

Name: Andree Dione Simmons Production Title: Reducing Cost in Education by Going Global

Crew and Talent: TBD

Outline: In this video segment, I will be discussing the concept of reducing cost while introducing globalization of
learning in the educational system by leveraging existing growing technologies like Face Book, Skype, IM, and
Twitter.

Treatment: The video will be shot utilizing a desk and a green screen in the background that will assist in changing the
background environment to coincide with the major topics of the discussion (i.e. early classroom setting,
moving into the current classroom setting, then taking a look at the classroom setting affected by the economic
crunch, and then concluding with the global interactive classroom).
