TeacherTube Video: Do You Believe In Me? – Dalton Sherman Addresses DISD

The reaction by administrators and Local District 5 faculty was still of unanimous inspiration.  It is amazing how this young orator is able to connect with not just those in the 17,000+ audience at American Airlines Center, but also to so many via the videosharing circuit (YouTube, TeacherTube, etc.).  So many principals came up to me during the break to find out how they could get a copy.  My response was to search for it in TeacherTube.  I stated, “Just search/type: Do You Believe in Me?”
