Now that you know how to put up videos, we will expect more and more. I love this idea!
Well that’s just great! I guess I am going to have re-lower the bar after this one:):):) So much easier than I thought, especially with the Flip. WOW!
The video was really well done. You covered all of the information someone new to it should know. Those flip videos are amazing. We have started letting the students use them to document projects.
Melinda, I loved the assessment wall video. You had explicit directions and descriptions for anyone to follow and copy in their school. This really says something about the whole school owning the responsibility of all the students. Keep sharing. Cheryl Oakes

Love the video. Great description of the Assessment wall. Nice tips. Well done. Hope to see more.
Very nice job. A great example of how to share your work… thanks…
