I am not really sure if this is what the assignment was asking for but I made a "how to" video with instructions on how to plant a tree. I was able to enter it into my blog and view it so hopefully it is correct.
This was a really interesting activity and I can see myself actually using it with my class. I did get somewhat frustrated when I couldn't get it to save. Finally I figured it out, but then I couldn't find it. In the end, I had to retrace my steps then follow all of the directions to get the embed code.
This would be a great tool to use at any grade level for any level of difficulty as well as for personal use. The possibilities are endless. One of the objectives in our Writing curriculum is to write a "how to" description of something the students know how to do from making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to tying their shoes. This would be a fun way to incorporate technology into their writing.
I believe this assignment meets all NETS standards but I will list the most pertinent.
