Vine is an app used by smartphones and tablets created by Twitter that allows you to create, record, and post a short six-second (that's it) video clip that can be shared via Twitter and Facebook. It's free, simple to use, and students, not to mention teachers, can have fun creating these short videos. Video and audio is recorded by tapping the screen and when you lift up your finger, it stops recording. Teachers have had students create projects using Vine and it has been amazing to watch the creativity that stems from students. Some of the ideas I have seen for using Vine in the Classroom are:
- Using Vine in the Science Labs
- Video Pen Pals
- Class Book Reviews
- Simple How-Tos
- Teachers or students can announce homework on a class blog or web site
- Book Trailers
These ideas are just a few. How can you see using Vine in the classroom?
