Scenario

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 the public school system and make a checklist and timeline of beginning to end, starting with prep work and ending with the final project. Write this up as an informal lesson plan and post to your blog.

The content area is holiday/traditions.  The project is the students have to act out a holiday or a tradition that their family participates in.  The grade level is 4th. 

The preparations I will have to do before this project is see what software the school has to do something like this, and to see how easy it is to work with.  I will have to learn the software and make my own holiday or tradition video.  I will have to reserve the computer room so the students will be able to cut and edit their videos and add music or sound.  I will have to see if the school has video cameras for the students to use as well.

Some of the challenges would be the time to make a video.  I will have to show the students how to use the software and then teach the students how to use the camera.  The students will then have to cut and edit their film, and then add music or sound.  Then I would have to have time for the students to share their videos with the class.  I would also then have to grade all the videos.
