Normally I have videos of me playing games OR audio recordings of me talking about education. This time I combined them to see how it would go. This is the result.

Today’s topics:

• Next year’s supply list.
• Why Beats are a waste of money.
• Google Drive & Google Apps For Education (GAFE) Are awesome.
• Snakes.
• Student tech can be better than school tech.
• Requiring students to have their own tech runs into the “Digital Divide.” “Loaner” tech is needed in a BYOT (Bring Your Own Tech) environment.
• Photoshop? Illustrator? Heck no, GIMP & Inkscape!
• I edit video with Magix Movie Edit Pro. (Windows only)
• My students are starting to use Camtasia to edit video. (Mac & Windows)
• YouTube has a video editor. It isn’t very good.
• There’s a video editor for Android called WeVideo. It’s slightly better than YouTube’s editor.
• I got my number of 8th graders wrong. This is what I get for not looking at a class list during a recording.
• If interest in my program stays steady, I am going to run out of computers in my classroom.
• My school system is doing a computer refresh program where the older computers are signed over to students. I want in on that.
