  • Tips for Self-Publishing Your Book (February 2019)

    Today I had an opportunity to share a 41 minute presentation with Mrs. Finley’s 12th grade Creative Writing class at our school, which I called, “Book Publishing 101.” Her students have spent the past several weeks writing and creating original children’s picture books, and publishing them as eBooks as well as printed books using Book…

  • Audio Podcasting Workflows (August 2016)

    Audio podcasts are one of my favorite types of media products to create and share. While images and video clips used in narrated slideshow and quick edit video projects can significantly enhance engagement and learning for people watching and listening, those elements can also add significant time requirements as well as layers of complexity to…

  • Comparing Risks and Benefits of a PreTeen YouTube Channel

    Our daughter, Rachel, is thrilled to have hit the 400 subscriber milestone on her YouTube channel.

    Yesterday and today I presented and participated in the 2015 “Write Well, Sell Well Conference” in Oklahoma City. This is the third year of the conference, and it was absolutely amazing.

  • 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…

    Friday I had an opportunity to share a videoconference about iPad Videography from my home in Oklahoma City with a group of about 15 homeschoolers in Nenana, Alaska, which is almost 4000 miles away.    by  Wesley Fryer  It blows my mind that it’s possible to teach and share like this. I posted the recorded audio from…
