FOCUS show with Special Guest Vicki Davis (by TheFocusShowOnline)

Had a great conversation a few weeks a go with Don Wetrick and his students. They filmed via Skype and my students got a chance to share what they learn and about my classroom. I enjoyed the conversation and have to admit that my students were quite jealous of the recording studio Don has.

I met Don at the Microsoft Innovative Educators conference in Seattle. He’s a great teacher and teaches with video. I love that he has his students create a video show about social media in the classroom. I follow their YouTube channel online, you mgith want to as well.

Very interesting flipping classroom assignment app called Knowmania. They have a homework assignment tool coming soon. I think this is a fascinating tool and there are many lessons to choose from. Right now I don’t see any pricing, but am looking into what model they are using to sustain themselves. Looks like a powerful flipping tool, particularly for homework.

Your School Year in Numbers

Many schools say that too many people focus on “test scores”, yet how often do we share (in engaging ways), the stats that are really important to many of our community.  Wouldn’t a video like this for a school year, or broken up into semesters and terms, share some REALLY important stats that many miss out on that goes beyond showing our kids as “test scores”?

I love hat Dean Shareski did with this and am thinking I might get my students to do something similar with their efolio for the year. Wow what a great idea. Love it.

Front & Center with the BSO

“Front & Center with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. Photos, videos and stories from our artists. Interviews, articles and links from our staff. A new way to follow the music!”
So many organizations are finding an audience on Tumblr and YouTube. Schools, arts, and more. The stage is no longer the only stage or the most important stage - and websites like tumblr can help struggling nonprofits attract more.

In this series, the artists are talking about how they’ve created new artistry around the Nutcracker. Very cool.

'Power of Introverts' Video Is a Surprise Viral Hit

The new viral video doesn’t show spunky, loud people showing out — no, it is a non-native English speaker dubbed over a hand-drawn video about the Power of Introverts. With over a million views, this video is being shared and reshared. It is vital to value those of us who tend to be more introverted. This has definitely resonated. As quoted from Mashable,

“Still, less than two weeks after its release, “The Power of Introverts” has racked up an impressive 1 million views on YouTube.

Based on the book Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain, the video is illustrated and narrated by Daniel Widfeldt Lomas, a Swedish-born former student at the New York Film Academy. It’s the first in a series of videos that expounds on Cain’s theories. (The second one just launched and can be found here.)”

A fascinating way that allows you to shoot and upload video that is integrated with Google drive. While there is a free version, there are also paid versions for higher capacity requirements. This allows online video editing and easy sharing with social media. This may be the resource we’ve been looking for collaborative video editing. Eager to try.
