Last week I ran two workshops on video creation in the classroom. A part of that workshop was a discussion of Common Core standards that can be addressed through video creation projects. I've pulled out some of the standards that I think a video creation project can address. The standards that I chose all came from the Language Arts standards. I would love to hear from mathematics teachers who have ideas about Common Core standards that can be addressed through video creation projects.

We were going to use the app as a writing station this year ... but with our new filtering system the app doesn't seem to work very well with the embedded videos. #saddayformobilelearning Works OK with the webpage ... kiddos just can't see the videos when logged in as a student. As teachers we CAN get in to YouTube or Vimeo.

Educreations is one of the top contenders, teachers say, mostly because of its simple user interface and multi-functionality. "I use it when I need to make quick videos in class," said Ramsey Musallam, a high school chemistry teacher in San Francisco. Other features that teachers seem to love: the app offers more than one page for recording; the user can import images from other places and format them easily within the video; there's a text feature so students don't have to contend with messy teacher handwriting, and perhaps best of all, it can be used on desktop computers, not just an iPad.

YouTube has a firm place in the current classroom. From Khan Academy's videos to YouTube EDU and beyond, there's a reason all these videos are finding a home in schools. In an effort to help keep the ball rolling, Google just launched a set of 10 interactive lessons designed to support teachers in educating students on digital citizenship. A topic obviously quite close to Google's heart.
