  1. OK, get rid of the ‘canned’ video and hire those two students full time to do PSAs — they are AMAZING and funny, a definite plus when trying to sway an often reluctant staff.

  3. It is wonderful that you find the videos useful. Please know that these videos are part of a larger training initiative for the state-funded K-12 Databases Program. Brief training modules called K12DB Mini10s (Mini Tens) have been developed which include all the materials needed (including additional videos) to facilitate a 10 minute session on the state-funded resources.Currently there are three Mini10s available – including one directed toward parents and families. Each Mini10 includes a link to a page with embedded videos targeting that Mini10’s audience. For example, a link to the parent videos page could be added to a district’s parent portal.You can access the Mini10s here:http://moodle.esc20.net/course/category.php?id=22 Keep up with all K-12 Databases Training and Curriculum Integration materials here:http://web.esc20.net/k12databases/training.html Thanks much,Your ESC-20 colleagues

  5. These "actors" are not reflective of true student attitude towards using K-12 databases. As Anonymous said, "these videos are part of a larger training initiative for the state-funded K-12 Databases Program.
