Project LEAD
Project LEAD: Leading Educators in Academic Discourse is a three-year research project funded by a California Mathematics and Science Partnership Grant that began in January 2010. It is a collaborative project designed to develop mathematics teaching and leadership skills among educators from Sonoma County elementary and secondary schools. Participating teachers commit to three years of professional development and agree to document the processes and structures they use to engage students in rigorous mathematics learning. The grant also supports their development as mathematics leaders and incorporates strategies to assist them in sharing their skills with others.
Bellevue Union School District is the lead agency for the Project LEAD grant. District and agency partners include:
Bellevue Union School District
California Mathematics Project
Healdsburg Unified School District
Lawrence Hall of Science, UC Berkeley
North Bay Mathematics Project
Petaluma City School District
Santa Rosa City Schools
Sonoma County Office of Education
Sonoma State University

How-To Video Guides
Using FlipShare Software: These four videos review installation of the FlipShare software, working in the FlipShare environment, and moving clips to your computer.
Installing FlipShare Software: The FlipShare software is on the camera itself and can be up-and-running in a matter of minutes.
FlipShare Main Screen Elements: This video provides a basic orientation to the software’s navigation pane, workspace, action bar, progress box, and program menus.
FlipShare Workspace Options: The workspace element of the FlipShare main screen has several options that allow users to customize the look and operation of the software.
Saving Movie Clips to Your Computer: Once you have video on your camera, you’ll want to move the video to your computer for archiving and editing.
Up and Running with the Flip Video Ultra Camcorder: The following videos provide Project LEAD participants with technical guidance on using the Flip Video cameras.
Getting Started: Load two AA batteries into the Flip Video Ultra camcorder and you are ready to go.
Turning on the Camera: Once the batteries are installed, turn the camera on, orient yourself to the display screen information, and get ready to record.
Filming: Using the controls on the back of the camcorder, it takes only a couple of clicks to begin recording and storing your videos.
Viewing Videos: The video you shoot is stored in the camcorder and available for viewing on the built-in screen.
Deleting Video Clips: When you need room for more video and have stored the clips you want on your computer, it’s time to free up space on the camera.
