"Call Me, Maybe" Back to School Video for Teachers
The Central Office wanted the teachers and students to
know that we can participate in project-based lessons too.
This video was shared on the first day of our district-wide
inservice called "Institute" coming back from the summer.
The teachers loved it. The video features our
superintendent, CFO, accountants, district administrators,
lunchroom managers, and other CO staff.

Principals Podcasting
Principals were given Flip cameras and 30 minutes to create a video about why parents should send students to their schools. Principals got in groups, according to their school communities and wrote the scripts, performed, and uploaded their videos to our PD Ning within 45 minutes.
