Dig deeper into the art (and science) of making great pictures and producing cool and effective movies in you classroom. Regardless what you teach-- multimedia can make your learning and teaching experience more relevant, meaningful, and applicable.
Part 1: The VIDEO PREP
When you are finished recording your confession, you will need to ready the video for the upload to my gallery, here are step by step instructions on exporting your videos from iMovie and Quicktime.

I call it EdSpeak. It will be a series of stories, ideas, and suggestions collected from educators / students from all over the world. I have started this series with the Parramatta Diocese Catholic Education Office (in New South Wales, Australia). I have enjoyed their enthusiasm towards change (now) and I think they have the right people to make it happen. They have a visionary leader (practical in my eyes). His name is Greg Whitby and I believe he gets it. Lets see and listen to the sights and sounds of the schools, the classrooms, the teachers, and the students. See below for movies.
Here are 9 movies I put together for you to watch, talk about, and even use to engage others in the very important dialogue of making a difference in schools-- in transforming them. These are also quick ways of teaching simple and effective ways of using documentary storytelling skills to convey a message.
Using movies as a way to communicate new learning makes more sense than JUST writing about it. This dialogue requires more options. I like to use multimedia (movies, music, design, etc). It reaches a greater audience, not just educators.
