Showcase Your Talent

First, explain to student that all people have some type of talent, no matter how small.
Give students examples of talents:
Running really fast
Having beautiful handwriting
Taking beautiful picture

Try to give a wide range of examples, so everyone can think of something later on.

Next, chart a list of talents that students can think of having. This list will help you later on when you meet with students to finalize their talent expo.

Then, tell students that you would like to create a digital portfolio of their best talent. Give students a paper to submit to you within 1 or 2 days. The paper will have a place telling what their best talent is, & how they could showcase it for a video. Meet with students who are having difficulty selecting a talent & work out details with everyone.

Lastly, find a great place to record with your FLIP Video Camera. I suggest starting each video the same way:

My name is______________. (First name only if you plan to upload w/ parent permission to any website.)

My talent is______________.

*There are lots of variations to this, but the best part, is your students will be exposed to various elements of technology. That's why you'll love the FLIP, its ease of use is extraordinary!!!
