An Animoto Christmas Tribute for Cinephiles

I created this tribute to my all-time favorite film directors using the free version of Animoto.  I just dropped in pictures (all about the same size) of these great directors and picked one of their Christmas themes.  I like how it turned out.  Give it a try and see what you can come up with.  Try to give yourself a limited time to work on this project.  Animoto is a great tool and the results look very professional.

Using Doctopus and Goobric to Manage Assessment in Google Classroom: A Step-by-Step Guide

Published in March 2016, this is one of my favorite posts from our Port Huron Schools EdTech Weebly blog .  What is a Doctopus, you ask? And for that matter, what is a Goobric? I'm so glad you asked. I took a lengthy look at both tools and put together this step-by-step guide/article that I hope will help teachers tie together three great Google student assessment and management tools: Google Classroom, Goobric (a Google online rubric) and student assignment submissions (linked through Doctopus) all in one place.  Here is the article:   ift.tt/1QVW54z   http:// fb.me/7DQ2ITOYU

Transferring Google Drive Data from a School Account to a Home Account (2 Methods)

This transfer can include only specific selected folders (shown in the Method #1 video below) or your entire Google Drive (shown in the Method #2 video and the print directions below). If you are a student, staff member or teacher who would like to see the different processes, in order to pick the one that best fits your individual needs, please scroll down and check them out. If any senior student asks about this process, please direct them here also. All 12th-grade student accounts in our school district will be deactivated shortly after their last day of school. It is highly recommended that this process be completed before then.  Video Playlist (includes both methods in separate videos) Print Directions   (shows method #2 where you can move everything to a different Google accoun
