Paper Slide Video Assignment - How to make a paper slide video? You do not need to complete the assignment in the near future unless you are ready to do so. You have until the end of the Summer I term to complete this assignment. This assignment is due no later than **Friday, July 2**.
 * This assignment is designed to share how you are learning through your new, expanded PLN.
 * Think about how your PLN has changed (or not changed) how you learn.
 * Put this into the form of an engaging story that will last from 2-3 minutes when reading. You will need to write out your story.
 * Find images to go along with your story. (This will take some time and careful consideration!)
 * Practice telling your story along with your images (as in the example linked above).
 * Secure a video camera. Shoot your video in one shot - your voice narration and images on paper - no editing.
 * Publish the video - using Dropbox, Teacher Tube, YouTube or some other form of sharing.
 * Link the video to your wiki page.
