Young people purposefully creating for authentic audiences. Featuring @animationchefs @MakerSylvia Thanks @jepcke #vicpln #edchat

The podcast Te@cher Tech T@lk Tidbit #12.66 – Follow Your Passions,  on edreach.us, hosted by Judith Epcke (@jepcke) introduced me to:

1. Super Awesome Sylvia @MakerSylvia- who is 12 years old and hosts a successful maker tutorial show. Check out her episodes and impressive list of achievements. http://sylviashow.com/

2. Animation Chefs @animationchefs-  three brothers who are teaching other kids that making your own cartoon network is more fun than watching a cartoon network.

Classroom Use:

I plan to share these stories with my students, not only as great resources, but to demonstrate that anyone, no matter what age, has a passion or skills that they can teach to a global audience.

In preparation for next year I plan to ask for student volunteers to become our Texperts and create video tutorials and resources teaching students and teachers how to use different iPad apps.
