I showed your class videos to my 5th and 6th grade Tech club and they got so excited to make their own. They found the Video Star app and planned the project and I just got out of the way. We posted it to YouTube yesterday!

This is the result. They definitely had a good time.<br /><br />Cheers, really liking the blog.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/user/BACreativeWriting<br tom savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18319152017852169623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7005114591173102634.post-33273515104464948712013-04-12T06:56:21.182-04:002013-04-12T06:56:21.182-04:00My school in Taiwan is in.

Also tried that with my 1st year students at University. 3/4 into the semester and already on the finish line the moral seemed to be a little down so we decided to do something about it (http://youtu.be/mIfboP5rQoU).
