Project Planning Sheet

Video Assignment

Goals:

Through this movie project we are attempting to tie together various ideas and topics from ED 245 into something relevant to our professional growth, teaching, and/or the students we will educate. This assignment will help us expand our knowledge of this particular media tool (iMovie or Windows Movie Maker) in addition to demonstrating its effectiveness in the classroom setting. With our movie we are demonstrating the importance of fair use and its relevance to students and education today. During our time in ED 245 and through discussions, we have realized we were not knowledgeable about the topic of fair use. This video could be an effective tool for representing the general lack of awareness around this topic as well as educating students about fair use in general.

Prompt:

You created a short photo montage that incorporated unauthorized, copyrighted material. Is this illegal or fair use? In this week’s discussion, you will demonstrate that you can correctly apply fair use principles.

Write a short defense of why the copyrighted material you used is fair use, according to the “Best Practices” articles in the Week 9 folder (you’ll notice overlap among the articles). You should be able to cite which category or categories of fair use your video falls under, and how you determined that your use transformed the material and was only as long as it needed to be. This can be in ordinary language, your own thoughts, and without “legal mumbo jumbo.” Please add any additional arguments that you think strengthen your case for your photo montage correctly using fair use.

Self Evaluation of Participation

I feel that my participation in this class is above average. I participate and contribute better than most students, but not quite at the optimum level that I could. At the same time, the amount of time I spend preparing for this course is appropriate for the amount of hours a week as well as its relevance to my major. I consider myself someone who participates in lectures. Although not quite necessarily the first person to volunteer, I share my opinions and try to lend a unique perspective to the class. This is also something I try to bring to the online discussion forum, although I don’t know that it translates quite as well.

Project Planning Sheet

Photo Montage

Goals:

The objectives of this lesson include becoming familiarized with a Photo publishing or movie making program to create a finished product that informs a group of peers or parents about what is happening in my classroom, or a little biography of my teaching experiences. A video making program such as iMovie or Windows Movie Maker would be a fun tool for communicating both with parents and school administrators to provide a concise look at what is happening in my classroom. I have discussed communication is vital to the success of education and this assignment would encourage open lines of communication as parents of the students in my classroom would become more aware of the activities we are doing as well as staying up to date on the material we are covering. As a biology teacher this video is a neat construct of the fun incorporated into my classroom.

Desktop Publishing Assignment

Goals:

The objectives of this lesson include becoming familiarized with a desktop publishing program to create a finished product that informs a group of peers about my teaching philosophy as well as the environment I promote in the classroom. This would be a critical tool for communication both with parents and school administrators to provide concise look at what is happening in my classroom and how it is structured. It has been identified that communication is vital to the success of education and this assignment would encourage open lines of communication as parents of the students in my classroom would become more aware of the environment in which their children are learning. As a biology teacher this flyer serves to emulate the creativity and wonder I promote in my classroom. The flyer itself attempts to promote the ideas that are essential to my particular teaching philosophy.
