Five Swivl Devices as Door Prizes!

Five Swivl devices will be given away as door prizes at the end of the 2013 SLR. Four devices will be up for grabs for everyone who registers and attends. A fifth device will be raffled off to someone who Tweets @rrisdpd or #rrisdslr from 8:00-2:00 during the retreat on July 25th. Swivl devices make it easy to pre-record a lecture or meeting in order to share with students or staff online. An iPod or iPhone records the presentation and the device will follow the presenter around the room using line-of-sight technology. An App makes it easy to then upload the video to a YouTube channel or other video storage service. Several teachers are already using this device to record themselves teaching a lesson, and then uploading the video to their web site for students who are absent to

view from home or for a substitute to present when the teacher is absent. The device can also be used to record meetings and professional development sessions. Check out www. swivl.com for more information.
