//**What are your computer management options?**// For pulling the videos from the cameras, once the kids have uploaded one time with guidance, they will be able to upload independently.
 * If you have a laptop cart checked out, the students can upload and edit their videos on the spot.
 * If you only have one or two extra computers in your room, the students may need to log into their accounts, upload their videos, delete videos from the camera, and pass it on to the next group/student.
 * If you only have your teacher computer, you will need to upload the videos to an album/folder with the student’s name or have the student do it with your supervision.
