BLOCKED!

I'm very frustrated as I am moving all of my students forward and yet I feel blocked in every direction I go. I get them excited. They all show up to my classes.

How are we as educators going to ever get ahead and push are students ahead if everytime something great comes along, it gets blocked. Now I'm wondering why I should turn the other che… Continue

Videos

My students are currently working on animation, html, videos, and stop motion videos. They are putting all of this together using a digital cameras, web cams, cell phones or video cameras. All info must be documented first before created i.e. storyboard and outline. Those creating webpages will be writing in html or using excel. I have some students creating comics that have to tell an informational story using a 4 block storyboard. All students will be graded on a 5 pt rubric in the following… Continue

Feedback on feedback: Vid Snacks

Let me tell you just one of the values of the Vid Snacks community here on Ning. Not long ago I posted a blog, “The World is Watching”. My point was that students needed to understand what they were creating with video would be seen outside the school or the local community. As usual in the classroom setting, the explanation of TEAM received the usual head nods or stares, but when students actually began getting responses from the global community, immediately change occurred. I teach eleven yea… Continue

Telling a story engenders community

My hope is that videomaking, analogous to brain activity, is appreciated as a "physiology" for storytelling, analogous to the emergent qualities of a cognitive, creative, essentially human mind. Hopefully, students will learn the fundamental technical skills to the degree that they're applied nearly without self-consciousness of what they are doing so that their minds are engaged in telling their stories to one another and to us. There is so much more at play here than how tos of capturing movin… Continue
