This is it! Go ahead and let us know where your masterpiece may be lurking. If you have already replied to a post below, that's okay, but make sure your class teacher knows - a quick e-mail will do.
Make sure also to send me the video via YouSendIt.com. If your piece is too large, you may need to export it to a smaller file size. Playing with the export/save/share tool should get you to the right option for that.
Thanks again for using what you are learning to help others. We'll start getting your videos up on our site over the next week, so keep an eye out for yours!

Draft of Second Educational Video
One week to go!
Please reply below with a link to your video draft. In class today and tomorrow, you'll have the chance to get comments from each other - try to get as many constructive comments on how to improve the piece as you can.
Remember also that this is a video for a student audience; your video should not be directed at other teachers or at parents. Anything that is genuinely valuable for students will be helpful for adults, too, of course.
It may be that there are two or twenty thousand kids and teachers around the world who will benefit from what you do, so put your heart in it!

Outline for Second Educational Video
Hi folks,
By this point, you should have sent the revision of the first educational video to me using YouSendIt, and posted a reply to my posting below ("Revised Video") with a link to your blog post that has that video. If you haven't done that, please do so quickly! I'll be sending a list Thursday morning to the other teachers on who has and hasn't.
Reply to this post with the outline of your second educational video. Many of you will get this hammered out in class Wednesday or Thursday, and you can do your comments on your TEAMmates' outlines as well. Make sure you've also watched and taken whatever ideas you can from two more videos from http://nextvista.org - going to a different section (the Global Views or Seeing Service, for example) might be a good move.
Remember that what you are creating is designed to help colleagues and kiddos near and far. Make sure you get helpful feedback on what you do, especially from those who might teach what you cover - you definitely don't want any content errors. Also, try incorporating techniques or approaches that you haven't used yet. This is a perfect time to add some new talents!
