February of this year my friend Mark Giufre wrote a post about capturing 1 second of everyday from class (picture or video) using the app 1 Second Everyday.

Mark’s Idea:

Why: Our classrooms oftentimes represent life. Days pass as quick as years. Moments come and go and are often not captured or reflected upon. #projectmoment will allow you to capture a clip of something you want to remember each day and then give you the chance to reflect on those at the end.

A number of teachers (myself included) joined him to to capture a month worth of videos/pictures from our classes. The app strings all these moments together to create a video. Check out his post that shows the resulting videos.

My video captures 37 class days from February to April

Next School Year:
Let’s keep Mark’s project going! Start on your first day of school and snap a picture or video of what’s going on in your classroom. Tweet it out with the hashtag #projectmoment and save it to the 1 Second Everyday app. I plan on doing this for the entire semester (~ 90 days). Having this video to share at the end of the semester will be amazing to reflect on. I look forward to seeing all your classrooms.
Join us and share these amazing moments!
