Podcast 439: Best Day of Classroom Blogging Ever with Shelly Fryer

By Wesley Fryer On January 30, 2016 · Tagged With: blog, blogging, classroom, kidblog, podcast, students · 2 Comments

This podcast features an interview with 3rd and 4th grade teacher Shelly Fryer on January 29, 2016, in Oklahoma City. Shelly teaches in a 1:1 iPad classroom at Positive Tomorrows, a special school for homeless children which also serves their families in multiple ways. Shelly has been using blogging websites with her students for three years, to teach students about digital citizenship through interactive writing. The day of this interview was her current students' first day to experience blogging on an updated KidBlog website, however, and Shelly not only focused on writing with students but also on images and the digital citizenship conversations which relate to these activities online. Shelly's students have been doing a lot of "inside sharing" using the SeeSaw iPad app and website this year, and while she has shared some of the students' posts with a wider audience using Twitter, this was the first focused day of learning when students discussed and prepared for "outside sharing." Check out the podcast shownotes for links to referenced apps and websites in this interview, along with links to others we gave shout-outs to. Interactive writing can be so powerful, as well as constructively exciting for student learning inside and outside the classroom! Please click on Shelly's classroom KidBlog website on http://classroom.shellyfryer.com and leave some comments for her students. Also please let us know you listened to this podcast by sharing a reply on Twitter to @sfryer and/or @wfryer or by leaving a comment on the blog post you'll find on http://www.speedofcreativity.org.

In this podcast from the road, Wesley Fryer discusses recent and current eBook projects using the iPad app "Book Creator" by Red Jumper in his STEM classroom and in the library of his elementary school in Yukon, Oklahoma. The five different publishing workflow options he explores in detail are: 1 - Open in iBooks locally, 2- Save to Cloud Storage like DropBox or Google Drive, 3- Email to Posthaven, 4- Export to Video and Publish to YouTube, and 5- Export to PDF and print-on-demand (a hard copy) with Lulu.com. He also discusses workflow options in which the classroom teacher posts eBook videos to YouTube after students transfer them to the teacher's iOS device using the free app InstaShare, and the option of directly posting to YouTube from student iPads using the free app YouTube Capture. Refer to the podcast shownotes for referenced links and resources. Please share comments or feedback as Twitter replies to @wfryer or as comments to this podcast post.

Podcast 419: An Interview with Shelly Fryer About Student Voice & iPad Projects

By Wesley Fryer On November 27, 2014 · Tagged With: classroom, ebook, ebooks, ipad, maker, MakerEd, technology · Add Comment

This podcast is a Thanksgiving interview with Shelly Fryer, a self-contained 3rd and 4th grade teacher in an iPad 1 to 1 classroom in Oklahoma City. Shelly's students recently completed a research project in which they created enhanced eBooks using the Book Creator app for iPad, and published their eBooks as videos to their classroom YouTube channel. In the interview, Shelly discusses how she's learned to use a Google Site as their classroom "home base website" this year for students to access links she selects and directly adds as needed. Their classroom publishing channels, which include KidBlog, YouTube, and Flickr for photos, are also linked from their classroom website (classroom.shellyfryer.com). Shelly explains how her students are using the free iPad app InstaShare to transfer completed videos to her iPad, so she can publish them to their classroom YouTube channel using the free app, YouTube Capture. She also explains how important it's been to build a "Maker Culture" in her classroom during their afternoon "Maker Studio" time. Students have created a wide variety of different projects using recycled materials, including a re-creation of the Macy's Day Thanksgiving parade this week after reading the books “Balloons Over Broadway” by Melissa Sweet and “Milly and the Macy’s Parade” by Shana Corey and Brett Helquist together. She also discusses how she's continuing to use Twitter and her blog for professional development and learning.
