Surfboard Repair Video: As a teacher, using technology is important in the evolution of education. Education has used videos since they were invented, but personal videos is relatively new. As an educator, the ability to create your own videos is a tremendous way of teaching students exactly what you want them to learn. In the past, teachers needed to constantly fast foward and rewind to use videos to teach a class.
