We'd love to showcase digital learning in BISD. If you and your students use digital technology to learn next week, please fill out this super short form so we can tell our digital story!
Need more than your document camera to make class videos?
The Swivl is a robotic base for an iPad, smartphone, or camera that pairs with a remote control marker enabling it to swivel or track while recording video of a moving person.
Swivls are great to use to record a lesson, lab, or presentation. The robotic base takes the place of someone holding the video camera. If the remote is taken off the lanyard, it can be passed around a group.
The BMS Library has a Swivl that is available for check out.
If you're interested, this one-minute video gives a little more information.
Want to check one out from BMS? This two-minute video below shows the easy set up process. The Swivl app is available on the iTunes Store and on the Google Play Store.
Edivate Video Spotlight
In this week's video spotlight, fifth grade students apply multiple strategies to solve a problem by working collaboratively using their math journals and sharing their work with each other using Nearpod. Nearpod is an interactive learning platform that offers both free and paid subscriptions. Nearpod works on a variety of devices. Students enter a class code to join a teacher's class.While this video features an elementary math class, the questioning strategies and digital technology apply to all levels of learning. You will need to login to Edivate after you click the link to the video.
(If you try Nearpod and like it, please email me. Looking for someone who's used it? Talk to Lori Bagwell at BMS or Ashley Chinderle at Alkek.)
