Curate and Create
Session Description: This fast paced session will open your eyes to the possibilities within YouTube for both curating and creating video. Learn to aggregate content to your home page and curate and share your own collections of playlists. Be inspired by how educators like you are incorporating video into their lessons and “flipping” the classroom. Investigate using the YouTube video editing tools and annotation tools to create interactive video quizzes and “choose your own adventure” videos.
