This summer Martha Bayer (Fiddlers Canyon Elementary) attended iDEA. That's the Interactive Digital Education Academy, a week-long workshop where teachers learn the ins and outs of creating films with students.  In their words, iDEA, "offers K-12 educators immersive, high-quality, innovative professional development and support to integrate the filmmaking process into core content instruction. Participants receive a comprehensive, standards-linked filmmaking curriculum and learn how to produce Public Service Announcements (PSAs), instructional videos, stop motion projects, and other short films."

Since her return, Martha Bayer has created two films with her third grade students. Take a minute to view them, they are fantastic.
