  • Publishing Student Videos with a Shared YouTube Account

    Since we returned from Christmas break I’ve been working with our 7th grade Spanish teacher to utilize the iPad app “Green Screen” by Do Ink along with a Green Screen setup for his students to record videos of short Spanish language skits they’ve written and memorized. His students have been recording different scenes and combining…

  • Save YouTube Videos to iPad Camera Roll for Green Screen Compositing

    Last week in the post, “iPad App Smashing Green Screen Videos from YouTube,” I described an iPad workflow for saving YouTube videos from the web directly into the camera roll of an iPad, and then using those videos as “background videos” in a composited or combined green screen video. While those steps can work, one…

  • Workflow Publishing 30 Normalized Conference Audio Recordings

    I spent most of the day today editing, normalizing, uploading and publishing 30 conference audio recordings from the October 23-24, 2015, Write Well, Sell Well Conference for Writers in Oklahoma City. This is something that’s been hanging over my head for the two months since the conference ended, so I’m very glad to have this…

  • Workflow: Moderate Student Email-Posted Videos to YouTube

    Today was nothing short of a revelation in our elementary STEM classroom. Twelve of my 300+ fourth and fifth graders published videos directly to our classroom YouTube channel from their iPads during school hours, which is an all-time record. Most of these were very short, and all were created in our classroom Maker Studio. Some…

  • iPad Classroom Workflow: Publishing Student Videos to YouTube

    It’s not the “norm” today but it should be: Every K-12 classroom teacher needs access to a YouTube channel to publish student work as well as their own videos. The past two years I’ve used a classroom YouTube channel for my elementary STEM class. Video is a very powerful medium, and Google provides teachers via…

  • Lessons Learned Publishing to Lulu, Amazon and the Apple iBookStore (July 2014)

    Back in April, my 10 year old daughter (Rachel) shared a Google Document with me which was her fourth completed book, and her longest finished chapter book to date. She titled it, “Mature Little Me.” Inspired by Chris Simon, the STEM teacher at Independence Elementary School in Yukon, Oklahoma, from 2011-2013, it’s a fourth grade…

  • Learn About e-Publishing at October 24-25, 2014 OKC Writing Conference

    In the summer and fall of 2013 I collaborated with three amazing local authors and others to help organize a face-to-face writer’s conference in Oklahoma City called “Write Well, Sell Well.” I shared a breakout session on “eBook Self-Publishing w Amazon, CreateSpace & iTunes Producer” and participated in a panel discussion on “Independent and ePublishing.” The recorded audio…

  • Academic Publishing and Relevance

    Since finishing my PhD I’ve applied for five different tenure-track faculty positions. I’ve been invited to interview for just one of those. I may apply for another position sometime down the road, but I’m currently very happy teaching 4th & 5th graders as a STEM teacher, occasionally teaching teachers as an educational consultant/speaker, and regularly…

  • Self-Hosting Oral History Audio (or Lectures) with Free Podcast Generator Software

    Radio shows and audiobooks are wonderful resources for learning, particularly for people with commutes or who like to walk / jog / exercise regularly. There is a “texture” and communicative power to the spoken word which isn’t captured fully in written texts. Pre-recorded (asynchronous) audio recordings provide fantastic flexibility for listeners, who can start and…
