"Most of our students love learning and creating...I was excited to discover the creativity and imagination taking place on Vine, a social network with over 40 million people creating and sharing 6 second videos. We can use this popular free mobile app and social network to engage our students and get them to connect with our subject matter. "
Beth Dichter's insight:
What could your students create in 6 seconds with Vine? More than you might think. This post by Shelly Terrell shares over 22 ideas to help get your students creating Vines as well as information that is key to being successful. One example...did you know that students must be over 17 to have a Vine account? This means that most teachers would have to create a classroom account (and probably check your Acceptable Use Policy and get parents permission). The good news is that you can create an account that would only allow parents and students from your classroom to view the Vines. Many additional resources are shared within the post including a recorded webinar by Turrell and also download her slides.

For all you Vine aficionados. Lessons using 6 second videos. |
Flocabulary and Common Sense Media have teamed up and created a great rap that will help students understand why it is important to think about what you post and not to overshare information. If you have never explored vocabulary take the time to check out their website.
Within the post you will find a link to a page that shares the lyrics, challenge questions and a fill in the blanks form.
