Professional Development - Flip Camera

This was much better than the first professional development I did the week before. The teachers had a good time filming each other. They all chose something from their content area. The history teachers filmed George Washington crossing the Delaware to attack the British on Christmas Day. It was hilarious watching them film themselves, but will be beneficial for the students to see that the teachers can make fools of themselves on film and it be good in hopes that they do the same.
The science teachers filmed some sort of rock cycle motion.....they used more of a poster and various things they had in their room. I asked them to bring ideas to film and since that was what they were working on that is what they chose to film. It was ok.
My department worked with a couple of the reading and English teachers to come up with some scenes from one of the books they are reading.
After we watched all the recordings - which were so hilarious!! - some of the reading and history teachers did talk about how to integrate a big project for 8th graders next semester that covers WWII. I can't wait to see some of them!
