This RockyDocs story features the students and teachers from Banded Peak School in Canada and Heiðarskóli in Iceland who are all part of the CONNEX exchange program, which stands for Community, Outdoor, Nature, Nurture, Education and eXchange. The project aims to reimagine the schools' connections with community and enhance their passion for the outdoors, by intentionally engaging seniors, fostering meaningful connections with the nearby Tsuut’ina Nation and opening the “Back 40” to community walks. Enjoy the experiences and perspectives of the participants as they host one another in their communities and the natural world.

Launch Your Channel! Since schools closed, many teachers want to connect with their students in a personal way, and a short video recording is a great way to share a personal message that they can enjoy any time. This challenge begins by recording yourself on your #rvsed laptop in iMovie, then connecting directly to Youtube to launch your channel and uploading your first video to your new Channel! Record Your Lessons! After connecting with your students in a personal message on your channel, the next challenge is to populate your channel with original content. It’s easy to record lessons and presentations that you have already created in Keynote, PowerPoint or Google. The tutorial video about recording your lessons will guide you through the process of recording your presentation as you advance through your slides and turn them into a narrated video that can be shared with your students on your RVSchools YouTube Channel. Curate Your Playlists! After you have connected with your students via a Personal Message from your new YouTube Channel, and you have created and shared one or more video lessons, you may want to organize your channel with YouTube Playlists and Sections on your Channel’s Homepage. Not only can you organize your own videos into curated playlists, but you can also add sections of playlists from other channels, too. Share Your Learning! The Rocky View Schools YouTube Channel hosts presentations of RockyTalks from all over the #rvsed community, from teachers and students in every grade, from every corner of the district, all shared publicly in the RockyTalks online exhibition! This year, RVS Teachers can share their YouTube playlists of RockyTalks videos that their students created at HOME, in any subject or format including speeches, essays, position papers, opinions & editorials, learning stories, numeracy/literacy/design, Arts & CTS, creative writing, poetry & spoken word, and more!

And making new video lessons from content we already have is actually pretty easy.
