My first DIY vid

Sometimes you find yourself in a rut, in the classroom, in your personal life, trying to sort things out.  Then you get out of the rut and start doing things and feel alive again.  Thanks to my adorable 7th graders, I was motivated to delve deeper into technology and social media again this week.  What did I end up doing on a Friday afternoon, after a week of teaching, year-end obligations and teenage parenthood?  Yes, I made my own DIY Youtube vid for making Duanwu Jie satchet (端午节香包) all in the target language!  It's not academy award worthy, but I have kids emailing me and said they understood it and they finished their projects!  Can't wait to see those projects next week!  Here it is, and please feel free to use it ~
