I’ll also be talking about Making_Claymation_in_the_Classroom and Stop Motion Video using an iPhone. There are many Stop Motion apps on iTunes…here’s one called Vine https://itunes.apple.com/app/vine-make-a-scene/id592447445 as you have seen in Common Craft’s videos. Really fun stuff!

If you do happen to try anything out, please let me know what you created and how you used it in your classroom. Thanks, in advance, for sharing!

Here are the slides from my presentation as well as other information I presented during my session. Please feel free to use what you can and source appropriately. Thanks!

Also, please consider joining our KHS Kapalama Educator’s Community of Practice at http://edtechtrain.ksbe.edu/khsedupractice or Midkiff Learning Center on Wednesday, May 1 at 3:15pm-3:45pm. Our topic this week will be on the question: How might we integrate more creativity into our classroom?

Enjoy!

This was the easiest thing to do! All you have to do is fill in your information to LinkedIn and then go to Visual.ly and click on the Create Tab at the top. Click the theme you want and embed away! The only thing I can’t control is my year’s of experience…says 23.9 years but it is really 13 years.

Welcome to our first Educator’s Community of Practice for Spring 2013. As promised, I waited for Song Contest to start us up again so I hope you all had a restful Spring Break! Today, we will be exploring how and why teaching students how to make good inferences is important to their own decision and life making. Here are the slides we will be discussing. Should you have any questions, please contact me.

At your convenience, please watch his mesmerizing lecture (2010) to better help understand how we might be able to help our students, coworkers, and ourselves make better life decisions.

For those of you who attended the Internet Safety Presentation this past week asked some good questions and engaged in some awesome discussion points. As requested, here are the slides from the presentation.

Should you have any questions, please contact me via email at metauvel@ksbe.edu.

Here’s the screenshot tutorial I made to discuss some of the collaborative tools we could use to help each other out. I have also shown you how to create a Google Doc in the Shared Folder so that you don’t have to email anything anymore and everything will have the appropriate naming protocol. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
