Hey guys,

Here is something I am excited.  I am working with the state of KY on
putting VOD-casts of class on the internet.  Here was our very first
piece,
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-7174474385156197754&hl=en it is
about using a percent triangle in math.

Here are things I have already learned that will apply to future shots,
1 shorter segments, 2 pre-editing (I would start it at minute 1:13), and
3 short films based off student led questions.

Here is the cool thing, it is WAY easy to put out there.  I used my
gmail account to upload it to the internet via google.  By putting it on
google I am not using up the school's or the state's server (?)
resources. Here are reasons why I like it, I can link to it allowing
online students a quasi class-room feel, as well as it will help people
answers to similar questions.  

So what does this have to do with literacy?  What about group reads on
the internet... book discussions... your student reading to themselves
(video modeling) that can be accessed away from the learning center,
etc.

Well, if you can't tell I am excited about the project.  The biggest
holdup is the cost of the video camera (Sony Digital... no DVD), if a
group of learning centers or programs go in on one together it might be
more feasible.

Any other ideas for how to use this with Literacy?
