So far I have made two videos using sites from the challenge. I had fun doing both and can definitely see practical implications of using videos like this with my students. My first thought was that history lessons could work well. I could see using these kinds of videos at the beginning of a unit to engage students in the topic. I could also see using this to have students make their own movies at the end of a unit to show what they have learned. This could be done across subject areas. The ones that I made were what popped into my head at the time.
When I saw the soda and burger I immediately thought of the new food plate the USDA came out with a few weeks ago and away I went. In other news my parents have upgraded to an iPad 2 and gave me their first generation iPad. I am having lots of fun finding good apps for it. One of the first I added was Flipboard which has a place for me to access Google Reader on it.
I am finding good elementary curriculum apps as well which I am looking forward to using with my students.
