I like to use this webcam app to record using the document camera, as well. When you have your camera and Chromebook connected, toggle the app settings to select the document camera instead of your Chromebook's webcam. The videos can be saved to Google Drive and easily shared in Google Classroom. Toggle the "mirror" setting on the app until you get the display you want.

Educational Hashtag and Twitter Chat Database

Kasey Bell of ShakeUp Learning has put together a database of educational Twitter Chats and hashtags. If you're looking for a way to connect with other educators in your field as you refresh over the summer, Kasey's list is a great place to start. I followed the #FutureReady librarian Twitter Chat last week and got some great ideas to implement next fall. I like to use TweetDeck to follow Twitter Chats.
