Using the Vine App to Promote Literacy

These Vines are from Mr. Schu, a phenomenal elementary school librarian. Click to watch the Vines in action. Vine is a tool for making very short videos that loop, and replay. Although used for many purposes, Mr. Schu found a way to integrate the app into the school setting.

    I started a Twitter account for this class and Mr. Schu was one of the first people I started following. I follow more now, but he is still one of my favorites. I have not heard of Vine. I will have to check it out.

    Those examples didn't really show me what vine was, so I checked it out. Interesting concept; I'd have to download it and try it to see how to use it in education - short looping videos. Maybe good for repetitive information in a visual form for students to learn a concept???
