Dates for almost everyone's ETSL Meetings have been chosen. Please make sure to finalize your ETSL date with you school administrator/teacher and confirm with Dan.
The ETSL Meeting powerpoint doc was reviewed & clarified. Remember to start collecting your material (work, student reflections, your own reflections) asap. If you need assistance in creating the ETSL Meeting powerpoint just let Dan know.
Dawn and Chris shared student work they are considering using for ETSL. Dawn shared her students' "I Am" poems and Chris shared his students' clowning work from their upcoming Macbeth Variety Show. The group then helped identify who the struggling, achieving and excelling students might be.
How to Insert Video: This is important for anyone choosing to use their flip cam videos in the ETSL document.
- First, insert your Flip Cam's USB arm into the USB port of your computer. The Flip Cam will show up on your desktop. Open it up and look inside the folder labled "DCIM" where you will find your video files. Rename the files if you want at this point so they are easier to locate in the future.
- Open up your ETSL document (in Powerpoint). Go to the page/slide where student work is displayed and click there. Go to the "Insert" tab and scroll down to "Movies and Sounds" then choose "Movie from Files."
- At this point you can call up your Flip Cam's "DCIM" folder where you'll find the movie you want to insert. The movie will appear as a still video frame in your document. Adjust the height /width so it fits inside the student work section and you are done.
- To play the movie, simple double-click the still video frame. Make sure the volume is up.
