teacher training &video projects

training

Don't require teachers to be tech experts

video project: grade the script, much more than the video

45 second limit because it focuses them on the principle they're trying to convey

limit: no death and no violence

can work alone or with 1 or 2 others

if you don't want to make a video, you can turn in a poster--no one ever does it

we will watch them all in class

Do: remind teachers of their expertise.

Don't: start with standards

the term ain't gonna get us there

Do show something fun.

Don't site everyone in a lab for training

Do: allow regular--and short--sharing time

cool iris in a photo wall

school is boring because it is predictable

unpredictability is power
