My 5th and 6th grade math classes started a paper slide project that will be ongoing throughout the quarter. I attended an educational technology conference this week and learned about paper slide videos with Lodge McCammon. Just like the name implies, this technique actually involves the sliding of papers to create a movie. Students are placed into a group to illustrate visuals on blank paper, write scripts that explain these “slides”, and then videotape the delivery of the script while moving the slides in time with the narration.  No expensive programs, no special effects, no fancy editing—just some paper, a few markers, a well-rehearsed script, and an easy to use video recorder, and you’ve got a very cool end product!
