My GAME plan: Video Announcements
NETS-T standard 1. Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity
Teachers use their knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments.
a. promote, support, and model creative and innovative thinking and inventiveness.
NETS-T standard 4. Promote and Model Digital Citizenship and Responsibility.
Teachers understand local and global societal issues and responsibilities in an evolving digital culture and exhihit legal and ethical behavior in their professional practices.
c. promote and model digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to the use of technology and information.
These are two standards that can help strengthen my confidence in my vdieo broadcast course. In order to work on the these two standards, I will develop a video production lesson plan that requires criticial thinking and self-direction from my students. After modeling how students will plan, storyboard, film and edit, I will assign the students to small groups and give them several topics to choose from. The topics will be about public service annoucemnets.
Students will promote and model appropriate public service announcements that affect their everyday lives. They will address the importance of their announcement through a video commercial. During the process, I will address with the students the importance of digital citizenship and responsibility.
I will monitor student progress on a daily basis to see how the students are progressing with the assignment. When the project is complete and the video are shown to the class, a rubric will be used for evaluation. I will also take the opportunity to have an open dialog with my students to see what worked and what can be improved on. Hopefully through the evaluations and open dialog we can determine if the overall goals of the project were met and if not, how I can change things to meet the goals.

That sounds like a fun lesson for the students. Do you plan on sharing the videos with the families? Do you have a school website you can post them to? Have them make a sevice announcement for next years class so they know what to expect...
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas,
Jeff
I have to agree with everything that Jeff said. I think it is important to let students choose a topic of their own choice (structured or unstructured). When you are interested in a topic you will find yourself being more invested in its product. Are you open to the class evaluating their peers with the rubric at hand? You can monitor how the class felt about their peers presentations and even add comments on how to modify, etc. We do this a lot as professionals and it is always a great way to promote communication and collaboration.
ReplyDeleteHi Jeremy,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your video broadcast lesson plan that would strengthen your chosen NETS-T standards. I believe your commercial idea would really foster creativity and innovation within your high school students. I wish that my technology teachers would have thought of fun projects like you did when I was in high school. What types of public service announcements will you let your students pick from? What about smoking or alcohol? These two topics could be controversial, but maybe you could tie these public services within a health or science course your students are currently taking. I look forward to your response. Overall, nice post!
Jeremy
ReplyDeleteLove this Game plan. The video activity will surely give students an opportunity to be creative in their lessons. One question is this activity done over a school semester, it seems rather involved? Great Post
