My Brand Videos

In the summer of 2009, I attended the Apple Distinguished Educators Conference where I was asked to create my brand. I was assigned to write a script for an introduction video that would describe who I am as an educator. The following day I was in front of the camera reading my script, starting what would ultimately become this website.

When I returned to school that year, I showed the video to my students. I asked them to reflect on the message and to let me know if what I described in my message is what I do. A student raised their hand and asked if they could reflect in a video message, rather than writing a paper. I thought it was a great idea and we immediately set up for the shoot. However, the students created one stipulation, I was not allowed to be there when they recorded. "Deal!"

Below are the two videos.
