\"Screen<\/a>I had a great summer traveling across the country to California going the northern route and making videos for our 5th graders who are studying the regions of the United States. Last summer I went the southern route with the Virginia Trekkers and those videos are on our website<\/a>. I haven’t finished editing the videos from this summer’s trip yet, but there are lots of other updates on the Trekkers site<\/a>. We filmed 5 videos in southwestern Virginia telling about the Indians (VS.2), the European immigrants (VS.4), and westward migration (VS.6). We filmed a whole podcast about the life of Patrick Henry<\/a> (VS.5b) from his birthplace in Scotchtown to his famous speech in Richmond and ending with his death and burial at Red Hill. We also filmed at the Maggie Walker<\/a> house (VS.9d) and Gunston Hall<\/a>, home of George Mason (VS.6b). Our most recent podcast was done back in May where we visited the Midlothian Mines<\/a> to talk about coal production at the first coal mine in Virginia (VS.10b). Several teachers have written to us telling us that they have been having trouble playing our videos. I produce them using an old version of Flash, so that could be the problem. Over the summer I uploaded most of our videos to Vimeo<\/a>, and hopefully they will play better there. Finally, be sure to enter our 2014 video contest<\/a> this year. Your class will learn a lot making their own video and you could win a dance party, like our 2013 winners<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
