Tom Haggas of Cheshire Moon Films spent two full days this week working with @AmesMiddle students on film production. Rule of thirds, shooting interviews, and editing on action was all part of the crash course. #AmesCSD
Learning from the pros today on how to create some movies. HUGE thanks to Tom from Cheshire Moon Films for all his help. They have learned way more than I could ever teach them. #AMSleads
You can’t see her, but @BeecherVirginia was featured as this students “favorite teacher” in her google tour. We will see if she remains the favorite teacher after my class 😉
Students watching student created tours. Such a fun way to share your story. #AMSleads

I send two texts out after every practice before I drive home. One to someone who really shined, one to someone who needs encouragement. Small habits show love to your team and grow relationships.
Every time I use this text-based game to introduce myself to my students I have to thank @GBLedu. Students are always engaged in this activity!

Someone’s having a stellar day thanks to the @UNIEdLead #2017All-IA cohort. Insomnia cookies and beautiful flowers for all she does. And we couldn’t agree more! Happy Thursday Loleta.
Big thanks to @KinglandSystems for speaking to my 8th grade technology class about their business. #AMSleads
Big thanks to Tom Haggas for coming and talking with my 8th grade technology classes about movie production. Can’t wait till he comes back for the next trimester. #AMSleads

The kids were talking about how hard their video games are... I had to tell 'em, "Your Fortnite life is cake. You don't know hardship unless you have known this..." ❤️🎮🙂
Huge shout out to @rippkedesign for presenting to my 8th grade technology class. The room was buzzing with excitement for coding and graphic design. #AmesCSD
Now this is dedication to a project. Freezing cold outside but they needed this footage for their movie!
Next round of tech videos are in the planning stages. This conversation was very fun to listen to. Many great ideas floating around!
Check out what @MrDsDreamTeam is working on. Very cool stuff and I am glad he brought in some 8th graders to help those students get excited about writing.
