The picture I'm shown (green shirt) in, we are working on an authentic assessment. She had pre-recorded a video with the assignment that explained in detail the task. The purpose of making the video was to help demonstrate how to make multiples of you (the teacher), as well as to give us an opportunity to try an authentic assessment using technology.
The first reason for the video was for creating multiples of you. This is a tool to use for the next day after a lesson when students ask, "Mrs. Moyer I can't remember how to do this, can you show me again?" As the teacher you will have recorded a short 2-3 minute video the day before of the lesson you taught. Then when a student asks to be taught again (or they were absent), you can direct them to that video. This enables you to be in multiple places at once.
As to where the video is located depends on your classroom. Did you email it to your students to save to their camera roll? Did you send it to them to save on their one drive? Do you have a folder in Showbie for videos? On OneNote do you have a video section under each subject? Are they posted somewhere students can access from any where or on any device? Once you have established a place and a routine for posting the mini lesson videos, you can create the habit daily to take 5-10 minutes to create and upload these videos.
Then the second reason for the video was to try for ourselves an authentic assessment that uses technology where students create with not consume the technology. We were told there were various supplies around the room, and we were to take them and create something. Once we created it, we needed to take a picture of our creation. When we were done with that she had us create a meme of our picture, but we needed to use 8-10 words to describe it. Here's my meme for you.

What I loved about this activity was how this took the skills we taught them in previous lessons that they in turn had to use in a real life application versus the standard paper/pencil assessment. This activity gives the students the ability to work at their creativity level, while still using the skills we had taught them. Then we are able to pull in other subjects by using the technology to show and tell their work. She displayed a short video followed by simple directions with a QR code for students to quickly find the video again to watch on their own if they needed to see it again.

I can't wait to try this activity this year with my students at the end of our electricity unit. Then in showbie I plan on posting my mini lessons for them in school. For outside of school access and for their parents I'll post on our classroom blog/facebook page.
