 * MS - more open ended - give the tool but teacher is there for support
 * Discussion of process over product as part of school values
 * Have kids help each other a lot

Lower School Foreign Language teachers want students to create and share a video thread with buddies
 * create a Google Doc chat sheet template - put in links to the videos or attach them to an image
