Making Videos with Wes Przybylski:
*Keep videos ~2 minutes
*Enable collaboration
*Use social media
*Students can make iMovie Trailers ending with questions for class discussion
*Screencastify
*Make or Take? Doceri for making math videos
(Multiply grade level by 1.5 for recommended length of instructional video time)
*EDpuzzle- like Zaption but seems way better because it records the response data and organizes it for you

Subjective-Type Assessment with Davis Apas:
*Subjective-Type Assessments refer to assessments that do not have objective right/wrong answers
*Proposed effective method for assignment work flow
1. Prepare Starter Template

3. Check/Mark/Comment with Goobric
Question for thought- In light of the fact that I believe in leveraging the social, collaborative nature of learners, what benefit does Google Classroom add that student blogs or websites don't? Is it not just as easy to require students to post their learning/assignments on their blogs? Don't blogs allow students to choose the format that they believe is best?
