so i've been tweeting about this thing called a "taks video." the TAKS test is the benchmark test students take here in TX [although it's changing to STAAR next year]. i make "motivational" videos for the students...
here's the latest:
[sorry about the quality...it's a huge file and it's on youtube! too big for vimeo...].
Oh man, I HATED giving the staar test! I thought it was boring as a student... as a teacher, it's even more excruciating. It's not like a photo teacher has a lot of papers to grade... I just played words with friends on my phone with students as they finished. Helped to pass the time!
