First Day of School

It’s that time of year again--the unpacking, the bulletin-board-making, the meetings, the anticipation, the nervousness, the excitement.  And for new teachers, the sometimes overwhelming sense that this is more than you had bargained for.

In early August, a group of Chicago and suburban teachers gathered to explore their lives as teachers and students, while learning digital storytelling techniques.  I’ll be sharing their stories here over the next few weeks.  In honor of the first day of school, a look into a few teachers’ very first first day of school, through stories and pictures they turned into a full movie in just four days!

To see all the videos, visit TeacherTube, a new YouTube-like site just for teachers to upload and share education-related content.  Lots of stuff there--it’s definitely worth a visit.
