I was going to write about my rscon3 presentation but this is better

My rscon3 presentation ended with quotes from my students about how they felt being part of the app project. Participation in the app project and other web2.0 activities over the course of the year has clearly had an impact.

Today two of my students DM'd me with a sample of their new internet show and the link to a super tool -
http://flixpress.com/ that allows you to produce high-end 3D animation and video in minutes using only your browser.  They sent me the beginning to their show. It is very slick. These two boys on their own time are taking the skills they learned in my class and creating something original and no doubt very funny.
These students are part of my PLN - I have learned from them today and look forward to seeing what they produce.  We are co-learners on this journey through digital media. Once again the teacher-student relationship is being rewritten.

  2. Thanks Karen, I have to say I hadn't even considered how the learning would be carried beyond this project and beyond the classroom. This is an exciting development, to be able to observe the amplification of our teaching beyond the school year.
