Thanks to Karl Fisch and Scott McLeod for this latest version of “Did You Know?” It definitely gives you food for thought! What does this mean for our schools?
Thom Ryder sent this video out to the staff at Oak Grove, and it’s really good. Just had to share:

Laura Sadler posted this great video on her blog. Since we are getting close to the end of they year, I thought I’d share. The singer is Kevin Honeycutt with ESSDACK.
I love the way this video pulls together people from around the world…and I love the message!

This is the version I showed to to GWC yesterday during the faculty meeting. I know some of you were interested in seeing it again or taking a look at the wiki that goes along with it. Here’s the video:

We have two new pieces of equipment at East Salem thanks to a Food Lion Grant. They are called Flip Videos. These cute little devices will record video with the push of a button…and they attach directly to your computer to remove the videos when they are done. And, if that wasn’t cool enough, they also come with their own video editing software, running right on the camera itself (so nothing to install beforehand). When we bought them, our hope was that they’d be used by kids! So, what better way to tell the teachers about them than to let the kids do a demo? I found a few kids from Mrs. Chittum’s class and handed them the cameras…no instructions on how they worked. In less than 30 sec. they were taping one another…then we were off to do interviews! Here’s the video they made to show the teachers how these little gadgets work:
