MACUL is only two weeks away! I just received a Video Abstract from John Schull. His talk will be Thursday at 2:30.
Learn how to digitally record a student-led conference and then publish it to parents or distant family members. These student-led conferences will help to link the parent, the extended family and the student directly to the school. It will empower the student to take responsibility for their learning.

Again, please get me your video abstracts and I’ll post them here for all to see!
Video Abstracts
Last year I posted a number of video abstracts to the MACUL blog. If you have time before MACUL and are able to, it would be great if you created a simple 1 to 3 minute long video abstract/commercial for your talk. Personally I find the descriptions in the conference guide to be too short to really be useful.
If you create a video abstract for your talk I will put it up here for you. This will give you a bit more exposure as well as help people decide if your talk is right for them. You should also post your abstract over in the video section of MACULSpace while you’re at it.
Anyway, putting my money where my mouth is. Here’s mine.
