1) The first challenging issue was getting everything done within a class period. If the students didn't finish creating their videos and editing, it was difficult for therm to find a way to save their work since they were using iPads. 2) For my B-day on block schedule, I was able to figure out how to use videolicious to incorporate pictures and do a quick demonstration with the class. 3) Shorten the clips and ask for multiple clips if the video isn't long enough. || > media type="custom" key="22176556" > We used a new iPad APP called "videolicious." ||
