> Between cell phones and tablets, it seems that nearly every student has access to a video camera today. In our community's next webinar, Digital Learning Consultant Richard Byrne will share some of the ways that your students can demonstrate knowledge of content and process - through the use of free video creation apps and web tools. From short, one-take video reports to longer documentary videos to bringing creative writing to life, there is something here that all teachers can put to use in their classrooms. Here are some of the topics Richard will explore during this session:
> 
> Flipping the flipped classroom by having students create short video lessons for each other
> How to video blog with YouTube and Blogger and why you might want your students to blog this way
> Adding videos to augmented reality experiences
> Creating animated videos to bring students' writing to life
> Sharing students' video projects while being mindful of privacy concerns
> Join us on March 26 to learn ways to use video creations as demonstrations of learning with your students.

> A Two-Part Webinar Series:
> Dumping Textbooks: 
> A Step-by-Step Guide for Migrating to Digital Content

> Presented by Jonathan Costa

> Nothing is so certainly written in the educational book of fate as the end of the textbook as the primary focus of educational content. Digital resources are potentially cheaper, more flexible, more up-to-date, and more reflective of the kind of materials that all learners will need to become proficient with as they seek to prepare themselves for life and learning beyond school.  Yet, even though this reality is commonly accepted (even in districts where all students have devices) there most often are still too many other barriers to make the transition to digital content.
> 
> If you are looking for strategies to build your district's capacity to go through this process and replace any textbook with digital alternatives, join us for this series. Attendees will get the most out of this webinar series if they come with a course or a subject area that they would like to pursue for textbook replacement in mind.
