Yeah, I think I figured out how to embed an educreations movie. http://www.phillipsconcord.blogspot.com/2013/01/if-you-give-student-ipad.html
I am also having students upload to youtube. Is there a way to do this without logging in to the youtube for them each time. I don't like putting in my password since it is connected to my e-mail, but my students don't have e-mail addresses?

I also want to start using QR codes. My goal is to incorporate this into my lessons, but I need help. I have been reading a lot of websites and articles about using them in the classroom. I am thinking about using them in a math center to get my feet wet, but I want them to be useful and not just something to do...

iMovie
I found this following website:

I am interested in using iMovie as a tool to record literature circles and have students reflect on their discussions. I want students to be self reflective and give peer feedback. I thought it could be good to record several groups and then play them back. Students could have a check list to evaluate. Then they could record the refection to be included in the movie. This could be a great learning tool. It is also a way to hold groups accountable.
When were learned about literature circle discussions I pulled videos off youtube for the class to watch and we evaluated the discussions. We could them upload our videos to youtube so other classes could evaluate us. If they were on youtube parents could also see the discussions.

BYOD
After Christmas I have had a lot of devices in my classroom. I have been working on lessons to better incorporate these devices. Currently I am using devices to research in writing and to access spellingcity. I have also used my devices in math to use educreations and showme. Students will "teach" a lesson as a center. I have, however, had a hard time sharing these videos. I struggle embedding them on the blog, also when I e-mail parents, they can't open them unless they also have the app...any advice. I am thinking about starting to us edmodo with one of my book clubs.
Ironically, despite the fact that most of these devices are ereaders, my students do not use them to read on.
