Such is life and such is life especially in the Junior classroom.<\/p>\n<p>After a few deep breaths, I tried to upload the videos through Vimeo and after paying a monthly membership fee, I was good to go (home). It is times like these these that I realize that we teachers can be as organized as can (I actually had these videos made and uploaded weeks ago&#8230;I just hadn&#8217;t watched them all the way through on You Tube)&#8230;but there may always been a certain percentage of our craft that is left up to chance and we just have to roll with it&#8230;and reschedule our yoga.<\/p>\n<p>All these technical glitches aside, these were some of the comments from my girls after they had watched the videos:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; They were so funny. I wanted to keep watching them (score&#8230;unicorns, zombies, and donkeys win again)!<br \/>\n&#8211; It was great to pause and restart whenever I wanted to.<br \/>\n&#8211; They were too long. Can you make them about five minutes next time&#8230;you repeated yourself too much (point taken&#8230;I totally get now why many of the screencasting tools cut you off after 5 minutes).<br \/>\n&#8211; Can you do this again?<\/p>\n<p>I bow to my students for giving me such honest, insightful, and helpful feedback. I hope that this is partially due to the class culture we have created together of offering kind, yet critical constructive feedback. I also love the idea that my students see me modelling something new, taking risks, and asking for help. I&#8217;m also really stoked about getting to try it again and see how it goes next time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was in my classroom far too late on a Wednesday evening.
