Last class...

Our Multimedia class is coming to an end, but hopefully your learning of and use of multimedia to raise rigor, relevance and engagement with your students is never ending...

ISTE's draft of new National Educational Tech Standards for Students has been updated to include many of the 21st Century skills "What students should know and be able to do to learn effectively and live productively in an increasingly digital world." Your comments...

Video Production Resources:
Adobe Digital Kids Club - The Making of a Movie
Making Awesome iMovies
- preproduction, production, post production, delivery - excellent resource!
Digital Video Project Ideas: Social concerns, biographies, career profiles, community history, curriculum in your community, documentary, How To, Introduction or Orientation, Investigative, News and Special Events, Skits and Spoofs, Television commercial, travel and tourism, public service announcements.

When students are creating mulitmedia products, make sure that you scaffold their work. What steps do they need to complete? What's their timeline? What is due day to day? How do you score student-created multimedia products? Here is a great resource for creating rubrics - Rubistar.
Here is a great example rubric from the University of Wisconsin-Stout for video projects.

I like the standards but I'm more concerned with what they look like in action.

The resources were good as I printed out the two I could.

The outline of the book looks good, does the AEA have a copy we can preview and decide if we can buy.

I feel that the Standards represent a good skeleton. It will be a real challenge to put meat on the bones. One of the problems will be getting students to be creative but efficient--they can spend a great deal of time without accomplishing much if they are only playing with the technology. I think another challenge will be teaching them to use existing resources without infringing on other's intellectual property. Finally, we are going to have to find good models of work to emulate. Lots of music videos and other popular "stuff" they see are NOT what I would want to call "my students' work."

Interesting to note the Digital Citizenship piece. Good for everyone to know what responsible behavior is with regard to digital technology. Sad that is has to be spelled out, though.

Judy,
The AEA Online link listed in the photos article doesn't take me to the right spot- says that page cannot be found. I tried AEA Online and was taken to Arkansas Ed. Assoc.
