Students in second grade were able to create their own video using Apple Clips. I encourage classroom teachers to make room for innovation!

These students were given minimal directions to create a small video clip. They were handed a device and were provided free creative expression. This is a reminder that although adults may be hesitant to experience technology, our students are ready to meet these challenges. So, we as educators must provide the platform to make this happen. How often do we default to what's familiar or comfortable? How often do we advocate for innovation instead of a computer-based "intervention". In my opinion, interventions should be facilitated through a human interaction experience. So using web-based programs to check off a list for intervention implementation is a disgrace to our future leaders. When will we take a stand in public education by making better decisions for how and why we use technology? The students in this video are not polished with perfect video etiquette, however it's a start in the right direction.
