What I'm Learning: Automated Resource Sharing with Google Sites

I cannot take any of the credit for the amazing work that John Calvert has done. He is truly inspirational in all that he is creating for his school district. I just wanted to take a moment and bask in the glow that is this one stop shop of resource sharing. It automatically tags, sorts, and creates pages for resources shared in their schools. There is more than a little bit of “Wow” going on here. If that isn’t enough, you should look at the other areas of their support site. They are wonderful.

Edtech Tofu: Creating a Google Form Powered File Sharing Site in Two Ways: Nose to Tail

This blog post has been sticking in my head over the last day and I decided to rewrite sections. The whole system that was used to create the Scarsdale Teacher Share is complex, and while it works for us, it isn’t for everyone. There is a lot to be said for simplicity and I’d like to include a less complex alternative that accomplishes a lot of the same stuff.  In the revised post below, I’ll explain the easier method first and then continue to the more complex version. The whole thing is pretty long – but I hope it’s useful.

Thank you to everyone who attended or watched the archive. It was a great conversation and we really were able to focus on shifting practice.

Next Steps:

1. Keep on collaborating in the planning doc: http://bit.ly/videoroundtable

2. Reflect upon the session and then apply for the Project Roundtable Badge: http://badges.p2pu.org/en/badge/view/353/ 

3. Make your own Roundtables: http://bit.ly/createroundtable

Whether it is the creation of a couple screencasts, the capturing a lesson in your classroom, or simply reflecting upon your practice, the process of creating and sharing those videos have the power to shift practice and possibilities for teachers and students across the board.

Roundtable Purpose: Video in the classroom can either be an empowering force for student and teacher voice or it can be a mind-numbing expansion of the lecture into bite-size chunks without deeper learning. It is our goal in this roundtable to explore the former.

Roundtable Audience:

1. Any teacher that is interested in using screencasts, classroom/lesson capture, and/or other teacher-created video within their classroom to shift their practice.

2. Any teacher/leader that is interested in furthering their reflective practice and collaboration in using and sharing video.

This is perhaps the most in-depth, specific, and engaging presentation on why Flipped learning matters. I highly encourage you to check out the first 20 minutes in particular, as he lays out why he does what he does. 

Also, at about 35:00, it turns into an awesome dance party about state histories. Yeah, that’s right.
