.Shared by Shelly, this video shows us the works of her students in class. And Shelly shares their works by using technology and making it into a video. Shelly shares her own experience with integrating technology into classroom, which is very inspiring.
Also, Shelly shares some of her advices for teachers about how to use technology appropriately in the class.
"First, teachers need to have their own iPads to use, install apps, make and create. Teachers need to be supported and encouraged to use their iPads to make and create, because these uses do not necessarily come naturally for either adults or young students. " -- from Shelly Fryer's blog.

In addition, she shows us how she uses QR code in her classroom too. She made a QR code about History of Thanksgiving and used it in her class. I think this is also a great idea to integrate technology in the classroom. It will help attracting students' attention and build up a closer relationship with them if the teachers keep upgrading the technology used in the classroom.
The video below is Shelly and her husband sharing a mini-keynote last summer in Austin at the iPadPalooza Conference, in which they talked about the platforms of the technology in classroom.
