Pics & Videos to Celebrate Learning

So many people post their photos and their silly videos these days, including myself, but it got me thinking that we should be doing this more to celebrate the learning and educational events taking place in our classrooms and libraries.

Parents would love to be able to see what their kids are learning and participating in at school, and the students love to see themselves. It is a way to celebrate the learning, but also a way to communicate with home about what we're doing at school. It's like a more engaging modern tech version of the old simple "newsletter" idea.

Whether it's a classroom activity, a library event, or student presentations, we should be taking photos and short videos and publishing them on-line for the kids and families to enjoy and learn from.

Since I just got hired TODAY to be a Teacher-Librarian, I can't wait to get the photos and videos started once the school year starts again! :)
