FYI:
-The next Teachers Teaching Teachers (TTT) workshop will be on the topic of screencasting video creation. It will take place October 7th at 3:45 with a second session at 4:00. The sessions will be in room 209.
-There are new mailing groups in Gmail that list just the homeroom teachers and assistants for each grade. So when you just want to contact the four teachers at each grade level and assistants in early childhood, start typing for example “Grade 3” and you should see the choice of “Grade 3 Homeroom” to choose from.
-I hope these weekly PD newsletters are helpful. One of the shifts in professional learning is to make PD much more personalized with teachers drawing from a variety of digital sources including blogs, podcasts, Pinterest, Twitter, etc. to subscribe to specific providers of content to best meet one’s professional and personal learning needs. With this in mind, I am going to stop sending out this e-mail newsletter to the entire staff. You have a lot on your plates. So if you want to continue to receive this newsletter, please just REPLY to this email. I will then add you to the subscription list. Now to the topic of this newsletter...
Video in the Primary Classroom
There are so many ways that students can produce videos to share their understanding. A few possibilities are documentaries, book reviews, tutorials, interviews, TED Talks, and news reports whether current day or in a historical context. Video production supports project-based learning and collaboration. Screencasting on the iPads gives students the opportunity to use visuals, annotation and voice to make their thinking visible. To read more about video, view examples and see the latest video production from Cecilia and Carmen, go to the Videography section of the Web Resources for Learning website. And don’t forget to let me know when I video record a lesson from your classroom.
