Prompt:

What is the conversation topic—students, curriculum, parents, principal, problems?  How would you describe the group dynamic? Are the teachers following an agenda? Is there a clear goal?

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.

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.

We are focusing on our two media projects (photo and video montages) and expanding previous topics to now include the use of digital images and video. As such, consider how student use of digital images and video can allow them to meet learning goals and curriculum standards. What are the advantages of using video in the classroom? How can subjects, Math or your specialty area, best be learned using more visual technologies in concert with other digital technologies? What are the advantages to students producing their own “Digital Stories?” Which type of video project (according to Garetty and Schmidt) might your students be producing?
