A Vimeo Grande Allegro Quartet

Vimeo is an online tool where anyone can share videos. It is similar to YouTube, but Vimeo has setting that will keep videos private among communities of individuals the owner selects, making it usable under the privacy guidelines in Public Education.

I recently took a short video of myself teaching a ballet exercise to a group pf my ballet students. I had a students record me teaching with my smart phone.

Next I took a 2nd video, so that the student could perform the combination, and I instructed from behind the camera.

 I dropped the video into my dropbox account on my phone, then I logged into my drop box account on my computer and downloaded the file.

This task was a little tedious, and I had hoped to figure out a way to use my Picasa account, since it uploads instantly online. However, I (with the help of my computer tech husband) was unable to download the file as a video. (Hmm..too bad Vimeo wouldn't let me upload from Picasa!)

After that task, it was simple!

Just upload to Vimeo after creating an account and publish to my Blog!

Lets give this another go

The GRADE BOOK..

Here is an example of a class data sheet displaying grades and averages of ten particular test. The last five tests were evaluated and each student who fell below the average score was pulled out of the chart and put into a new chart for assessment.

In reviewing the last five tests of the students that fell below the average marker, we can pull some interesting data. We see that overall most students gradually rose in scores from test 5 to test 10. We can also see that a couple students fell considerably lower than the rest of the class. Walter and Queen were both below 160 for all five tests. We also see random jumps and dips in Katherine's scores. Which is odd, and might lead to something if investigated further, as to why her scores seem so unbalanced.

Once I got the hang of it, this assignment was simple, straight forward, and very applicable. Full of great and useful information!
