My setup at school
Free Video File Joiner
I bought the school a nice video camera, Canon VIXIA HF G40, for recording events and school news. The camera has worked out very well, but like all new digital camera's it breaks the video's into multiple files. So the search began to find a very simple software that can easily join those video files into one. After several failed attempts I finally stumbled across DVD Video Media's: Video Cutter Joiner. The software is just for joining (or splitting) video files, it works fast and is very simple to use.

VT Fest: Build Your Own Badge Framework
Title: Build Your Own Badge Framework
Time: Thursday at 9:15
Description:
There are many places that allow you to earn badges, and they are a great way to show your proficiency level of a subject. In this session we will have an open discussion about building your own micro-credential lessons that result in earning a badge. For example, think about all the items in your makerspace, how do you know if a student can use the 3d printer, or the Arduino. Now imagine associating a micro-credential lesson with each of those items, students or teachers could complete those lessons and provide proof of knowledge.
