"Yesterday I worked with a librarian who is going to help 4th and 5th grade students next week record "narrated slideshows" to practice their oral communication skills telling stories with "story cards" from different perspectives. (1st person singular, 1st person plural, 2nd person, 3rd person singular, etc.) This is an excellent Common Core-aligned language project. She helped me record a 4.5 minute video tutorial about this, in which I show the steps for creating a narrated slideshow using the free iPad app "ShowMe." "

Good luck to Eva Brown (Flat Classroom Certified Teacher), this is her Google TA application video. I love it!

Thank you to Duane from Manitou, Canada for sharing his class wiki and how the Personal Video piece is explained to his students. This is excellent teachersourcing!

A wonderful video from @commonsensemedia for younger students to help think about using the Internet sensibly.

Excellent blog post by @ToscaKilloran about coding using Scratch - from an amazing PYP teacher in Germany who really gets it! Great resources - video and websites - shared. Love it when she says, "However, the real goal rests not in the student's ability to code, but the complex network of skills that are contained within coding. Among other things, this entails thinking logically and algorithmically but also creatively, and collaboratively."

First graders from Dallas, Texas share their 'handshake' introduction via this video for the K-2 Building Bridges to Tomorrow global collaborative project, a Flat Classroom Project.

Could this be another good collaboration site? Not as good as Elluminate, but Free.
