1. Have groups record footage with a mobile device (iPad). 2. Send the footage to a computer with a video-editing application (iMovie) via email OR use the an app to edit the footage.  3. The completed movies are then sent to the school’s server folder. 4. Step 3 allows the teacher to project the movies from one location. 5. Students reflect on their learning through an online word processor (Google Docuements). Images are from Ms. Mines’s drama lessons. 

Even a drama class can integrate Google Apps into its curriculum! Two blocks before her class, a teacher asked me if I could create a KWL chart and a graphic organizer for her class to use. Her unit was on street performances.  The teacher started her class with a YouTube clip that demonstrated the art of street performance. She then asked the students what they knew about the topic and what they would like to learn. I typed in each students’ comment into the KWL Chart document. Students were then divided into groups and were told to watch linked video clips that were provided on their graphic organizer. After watching the video clips, the students gathered into their groups and attempted to answer the questions the teacher had for them.
