  • Gotta Keep Reading – A YouTube Remix of the Black Eyed Peas by Florida Students « Moving at the Speed of Creativity

    “Let’s hear it for innovative ways to help students get more excited about reading… AND… the legal, transformative remixing of copyrighted works like the song, “I’ve Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas! The five minute YouTube video, “Gotta Keep Reading,” was created by students and staff at Ocoee Middle School, working with college students from Full Sail University.”

That’s because I’ve been working on a new site hosted at http://istianjinelearning.org/blog/todbaker. I’m calling it IT K5. It’s where I write about classroom and other edtech news from the perspective of a teacher. For this site, I write mostly from the perspective of my other role, the IT coordinator. I’m not sure what to do with these two sites yet. Do I keep them separate or bring them together? For now, I’ll maintain both of them and see where the discussions lead me. If I’m sharing the same ideas and talking the same edtech on both sites, well then I might as well merge the two sites. We’ll see.

    Grade 4 Art Exhibition from Tod Baker on Vimeo.

    For their latest unit of inquiry, How We Express Ourselves, the grade 4 students hosted an art exhibition for the IST school community. Each student displayed original artwork along with the process and other inquiry-driven inspirations. I walked through the exhibition with a Flip MinoHD recording 5-10 second clips. Later at my computer, with FlipShare software I imported the clips, added a title slide and sewed all the clips together. I then exported the movie to my desktop and uploaded it to Vimeo. Making this basic movie was fast and easy. We’ll use it as a talking point for this year’s students to reflect on the night and next year’s students to envision their night.
