A paper slide video is a low-tech meets high-tech project that is adaptable for any grade level and subject area. Students create their own slide show on paper "slides" that they record while narrating the information contained in the slides. Take a look at the video below for a great overview of how Paper Slide Videos work!

Students work in teams comprised of:

Resources for planning your Paper Slide Video Project:
Paper slide videos are great as a group activity, but can also prove to be a powerful presentation tool that students can complete individually.
Recording and Sharing your video
To record the videos, just use the Camera app for iPhone or iPad. That way all the videos are saved to your camera roll.
Make sure you swipe to change the operation from "Photo" to "Video"
You should make time to allow students to watch their creations as a class- they will be asking about them until you do! If you have a VGA adapter that allows you to project from your iPad to SmartBoard, that will be your easiest option for viewing the videos.
If you do not have an adapter, or if you are planning on sharing the videos with parents or other teachers, it's best that you upload the videos to your Google Drive, by downloading the Google Drive app on the same device you recorded with.
For directions on uploading files from an iPad/iPhone to Google Drive see this page.
