97-The Virtual Gallery Walk Compliments of Screencastify

James Sturtevant Hacking Engagement

Student videos started to get on my nerves. It was the same thing over and over. The kids put most of their efforts into making them funny and violent. The videos seemed more slapstick than expressive.
I retooled the way kids create videos and the results have been spectacular. This episode is about HOW I have my students do this and HOW they present their work to one another. Episode 44 is about student presentations via the gallery walk. In this program, I'm going to promote the idea of creating a virtual gallery walk. I was impressed a couple of years ago when I had my kids take a virtual tour of the Caves of Lascaux. I remember thinking...Wouldn't it be cool if my kids could create a virtual exhibit?
My students mastered this challenge with the help of Google Slides and wonderful screen recorder called Screencastify.
