Check out what Sailorway is doing on Youtube

Although Sailorway Middle School has had a Youtube channel for some time, it hasn’t been fully utilized until recently. Parents can now subscribe to the Youtube channel in order to get updated videos as they are made available.

Principal Brian Zeller had the idea to use the channel this year to leverage their technology to share with parents the great work being done at SMS throughout the week. The goal is to post new video newsletters on the first day of each week.

Principal Zeller shared, “We also felt that recording informative videos for open house would allow our parents who couldn’t be there to get information. For any parents who did miss the open house, those videos remain available and are filled with helpful information.”

As of now, the videos are not student driven. Mrs. Bartlome and Mr Zeller take the photos as they circulate the building.  “While I am the primary person who has done the videos, I have a lot of help from Mrs. Bartlome and Mr. Caudill in making the video newsletter happen. We also had a ton of help in making the PBIS video with our staff taking on the role of people not meeting our expectations” Principal Zeller stated.

 You may recall that Mr Caudillreceived that Innovative Educator Award from WVIZ/PBS Ideastream last school after creating a green screen recording room accessible to students at the middle school. The ability to create videos has been integrated into a wide range of different lessons throughout the science curriculum.
