Hot off the Press! - Magazine Presentations!

Which magazines will YOU subscribe to?  This is the question posed to students today as they watched their first few classmates present their online magazines using Adobe Portfolio, videos, music, props, demos, and more!  Using persuasive dialogue, presenters try and give a detailed "sneak peek" of their magazines in order to convince people to subscribe to their magazines!  As students watch presentations, they diligently take notes and fill out subscription cards for their "Top 8" magazines!  Enjoy the photos and short video clips of some impressive presentations thus far!
