I needed a hack

 So I'm mapping out/planning out how I want to do things to meet certain proficiencies for next year, each leading up to a big speaking project in the spring. And at one point I'm thinking out the logistics of how to grade each of them in person, etc, and it occurs to me that I could have the students do a quick family interview of each other (more on that later when it's more fully fleshed out), and record/post it to Seesaw. Then I can grade at leisure.

Then I thought... hmm.... they would need something to hold their phones to record.  So I went to YouTube looking for a cheap hack for making a phone holder. I needed something simple and NOT time consuming. Also, something that would really hold the phone upright for recording. I found this video:

I'll be using the cup design. Quick, cheap, and then I can stack up for storage.

Problem solved. And I really like that you can video directly in Seesaw and not take up bandwidth on a student's phone.

Now to do more brainstorming.
