John Strange says I found this video on At The Teachers Desk posted by Mr. William Chamberlain. I urge all teachers and aspiring teachers to watch it and think about the message in it. Also, my students should think of it as an example of one technique that could be used for their "Substantive Presentations" due near the end of the semester. Listen to the song written by Kevin Honeycutt from ESSDACK Video. Check out other YouTube Videos Directed/Edited by Shawn Gormley (otherwise known as changingworldbyfilm).

I found this video on Wesley Fryer's blog Moving at the Speed of Creativity. I think this is an excellent example of how to create content that is powerful and meaningful. Watch the video below and listen to the message. Do you think this video might change the way someone you know thinks of using tech in the classroom?

The video has changed Me! I know once I become a teacher, I will use technology in the class room. I am going to teach science, so technology will go a long way in my classroom!
ReplyDeleteAs an older gentlemen, I know that children grow up fast. The looks on the young peoples faces said it all to me. If you stifle their creativity, look at the sadness on their faces.
ReplyDeleteI just showed this to bunch of technology coordinators; the power of these short videos always surprises me. It really got the conversation going. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteVery creative and enjoyable. This is a common story in schools today. Boredom and unwilling to change or evolve. The other link "moving at the speed of creativity" has some great concepts also. I find myself asking not "what if we could do this?" but "how could we do this?" It comes down to doing work now to reap the rewards later for you, the kids, the school, and the system.
ReplyDeleteThis video goes to show that for me technology is a important form of teaching. It can also help keep your students active.
