Rewind'ed' and Mash'ed'

Yesterday our class created some artwork using a simple checkerboard pattern and a 3D effect. To walk them through the process I used the paperfiftythree app - great to screen share with the appleTV and create your own digital whiteboard.

It was when I used the rewind feature (2 fingers moved in a circular motion) to show them the process from start to finish that I realised the whole process could be captured in a screenshare movie. And with a little 'mashing', here's what it looked like.

So - here's the process from 'woah to go' (why is it in that order? Nonsensical).

1. Create the drawing in Paperfiftythree

2. Screenshare to laptop using Reflector app

3. Capture video using Quicktime Pro

4. Import and create video on iMovie

5. Create soundtrack clip on Iambeatbox app

6. Share to Soundcloud and download

7. Add to video project in iMovie

8. Upload to Youtube

Phew. It's always amazing how apps, programmes and sites share to each other. That's what you could call 'Mashed'.

Planning and Assessment with Notability App

I replied to a question on twitter about how I use one ipad in the classroom. Last year we had 1 ipad (now we have 12 which is awesome!) and I decided to make the most of it as a teaching tool;

 - I achieved my goal of having a digital planning and assessment approach!

Here's a video of how I use Notability for planning and assessment.

Things to Learn - Vid

Here's a great vid - by Matt Edgar. Some very cool messages. Now I'm wondering how we can use this as a model for our class to communicate something they've learned...

eLearning in Schools - Vision and Philosophy

I've started collecting some resources that will help schools develop their own vision and philosophy of eLeaning looks at THEIR school. It's great to see so many putting their spin and flavour on a powerful emerging pedagogy.

I'll hope to add to this over time.
