1. Scenario: You decide to incorporate a digital video project in your classroom. What is the content area/project/age level? What are the preparations you will have to do prior to beginning this project? What are some of the challenges? Be specific- think like a teacher in a public school system and make a checklist and time like of beginning to end, start with prep work and end with the final project. Write this up as an informal lesson plan and post to your blog.
Lesson Plan
Project: create a 1 min play about different cultural and geographic differences a 10 year old “Sally” may face when she moves from The United States to Mexico.
Grade: 3rd grade
Content Area: Social Studies and writing
Preparations:
Teacher will split the class into four different groups. The students will create and write a 1 min. play in their groups and get it approved by the teacher. Before the students begin to tape the teacher will show a short video on how to use the cameras. (teacher will also provide props)
During:
Students will show the teacher their play once before the begin taping. After the teacher has seen the play the group will receive a video camera. The group will video tape their play, and hand in the written form of the play, the video tape and camera, and a list of each persons role in the making of the project.
After taping:
The teacher will upload the videos onto moviemaker 2.6 and edit anything that needs to be modified. The teacher will also add any sound effects that the students request or that may add to the video. The teacher will then upload videos to youtube.
The Next day the teacher will have the class watch the four videos and have a class discussion about some similar ideas that the groups had and also and differences.
Challenges: Some groups may have technical difficulties with the camera, so it is important that the teacher understands how to use the camera. It will also be a challenge to help each group since the teacher is just one person.
