Our 5th grade teacher came to me yesterday asking about using the library space for her PYP presentations to parents. Of course that was fine with me, but in the nature of these things, talk continued and I learned she was interested in running a Power Point slide show of student photos.
Never one to let that one slip by, I suggested some other options and eventually we decided on something I think will be pretty cool.
We are going to do a quick video interview with each student talking about their project and what they learned in the process of doing it. We will load each video clip into VoiceThread and project that in a loop. (Or try to loop it--I need to research that! If not, I'll be there to keep restarting it.)
On a separate, nearby computer set up with a headset, we'll load up the VoiceThread in a generic account (since most parents won't have VoiceThread accounts), and allow parents to comment on their child's (or another child's) presentation/video.
Great encouragement and feed back for the students, fun for the parents (I hope!), and, of course, completely embeddable on the school website to promote your program.
