Get with it...

It was a very wonderful Friday-- nothing exciting. I had a meeting, presented a new project, didn't get too much done. At lunch I showed Melissa Harlem Shake videos, she show me the Pep Talk video. As art teachers, we try to keep each other up on what's cool, what's artistically shaking. Melissa had sent me a link to an article about Vine-- a new video ap, like Instagram only a lot more tricky. I procrastinated checking it out until a student showed me it today and then I had to install it and try it out. Then after bragging to Melissa that I was making Vine-videos, she got on the band wagon and made some too! I went Vine-crazy trying to catch up. My first one wasn't awesome, but by dinner, I was figuring it out. During my 7th hour, I handed my phone over to students to make Vine videos too! I encouraged the kids to organize a Harlem Shake video making event at tonight's BBB game. I'm not sure if they did it since I took tonight off. After school I took Balt for a walk, made dinner and then went to see Hyde Park on Hudson with my husband at the Sundance. It was our Valentine date night & it was a good one.  

Speaking of videos... a teacher at JMM asked Monika to help her make a video for a class she was promoting. It seems that's the way it's done now! I think I'm going to get her to make a video for one of my classes next!
