Tue, 29 April 2008  What's it all about?Although this interview included plenty of interactive dialogue, my recording failed to capture my voice, and so it's been converted into a monologue of sorts, wherein Lee Lefever discusses the origins of Common Craft paper craft videos; the crafting of effective explanations; where ideas come from; how almost anyone can create content with a message. * The audio channels mucked up a bit with the left channel disappearing at times, but the messages Lee shares are very pertinent to classrooms of today. Questions for Consideration: Which of the Common Craft videos is your favourite? Why? Do you or your students create in the medium of video? For what purposes? Is there work shared with a wide audience? Related Websites: The home of Common Craft and the Common Craft Store Check out what people are saying about Common Craft on Twitter by searching Tweetscan.
