    Outline of Advanced Project 2

    For this project the Instructors hope is to show the students a new technology that will

    engage and motivate them to complete the project given. The project will be to use a flip cam to

    video tape a family member and create an interesting oral history of the family members past.

    The instructor will also teach a lesson on how to use windows movie maker to add and edit the

    video the student creates.

    Goal of project

    The goal of this advanced project 2 is to learn to play and use the flip cam technology

    partnered with the windows movie maker. For years I have had windows movie maker on my

    computers, but have never paid too much attention to the program. Now that I am enrolled in the

    edu 528 course I thought now would be a good time to start exploring all the different programs

    on the computer that I have never used before. I am now a TABE reading instructor at Cassadaga

    Job Corps and can now appreciate the significance of technology. The goal of the lesson created

    for this project is to allow the students to use technology and to learn by being engaged through

    the new technology. I also wanted the students to see that technology could make their work

    easier for them. The flip cam will allow the students to record an oral history without having to

    transcribe the entire conversation. By showing the students how to edit the video on windows

    movie maker it is showing them that it is much easier to edit a video clip using this new

    technology rather than not being able to edit a recording on a hand held recording device.

    The Teachers Role

    The role of the teacher for this project is simple. It is to allow the students to explore a

    new technology while learning more about his/her heritage and family. The teacher needs to be

  • 8/14/2019 Advanced Project 2 Edu 528

    3/17

    Roberge 2

    able to instruct the students in operating and maintaining the technology while allowing the

    students enough freedom to learn by doing. My students learn best when they are able to do

    things with their hands. By giving them a limited technology lesson it will engage the students,

    thus motivating them to complete the lesson. The teacher will be the students support if he/she is

    frustrated or is unable to properly maintain the technology.

    The teacher will need to preform two different lessons before allowing the students to use

    the technology. First the teacher will need to give a quick tutorial of how to use a flip cam and

    how to make sure they handle the technology with care. The teacher will also need to give

    directions for the project they will be completing with the help of the flip cam. After the students

    understand both the technology and the project the teacher will then need to give a tutorial on

    how to use windows movie maker.

    Students Role

    The students will have both a passive and an active role throughout the unit. The students

    will need to sit and listen to the requirements of the project and to the tutorials about the

    technology used. Once the students feel comfortable they will be allowed to explore the

    technologies given to them by the teacher. The students will need to make sure that they handle

    the flip cams with care and they will need to make sure that they are using them for only the

    project given to them by the teacher. Project approval will only come from the teacher and no

    other adult.

    Once students feel comfortable with the technology they will need to complete the

    project given to them by the teacher. They will use the flip cam to record a family member and

    4/17

    Roberge 3

    then download the movie onto the schools computer. Finally, the students will use windows

    movie maker to add to and edit their movies.

    Role of Technology

    The role of technology is to engage the students. With the changing times and the

    imminent need to learn new technologies it is important that students keep up with the different

    types of technologies and what they are used for. In the 21st century people are expected to do

    more work in less time. To make it possible to work, sleep, and take care of your needs you need

    to use technology to help quicken the pace of your work. This project will allow the students to

    create an oral history without having to spend tedious hours transcribing the conversation

    between them and their family member.

    My students are at risk youth with very few positive experiences in school. To get them

    to complete a project is very difficult. With the use of the technology the students will be more

    motivated to finish and more engaged in the lesson.

    How Students are grouped

    Students will be grouped based on where they live. At Cassadaga Job Corps the students

    live on campus. During a two week break the students are sent home to be with their families for

    the holiday season. During this time the students will be able to take the flip cam home. To try

    and keep the budget for this project to a minimum the students will need to pair up with another

    student that lives close to them. This way the students will be able to meet somewhere and

    exchange the flip cam. A student will not be penalized if their partner never comes to bring them

  • 8/14/2019 Advanced Project 2 Edu 528

    5/17

    Roberge 4

    the camera. It is a harsh reality to say that the teacher will need to take some type of collateral to

    ensure that the students will bring the cameras back at the end of break.

    How Outcomes are Assessed

    The project has two parts. The First part will be assessed by the teacher looking at the

    initial interview video. If the student properly asks appropriate questions and records the family

    member with little side conversations and camera fidgeting they will receive full credit for the

    first part of the project.

    The second part of the project will be assessed through a four point rubric. The teacher

    will explain that the students will now need to enhance their recordings using windows movie

    maker. The students will need to edit out material that is not needed or makes the movie too

    lengthy. They will also need to add a title page and ending credits. An option for the students

    will be to add personal touches. If the student wants to partake in a challenge they will be

    allowed to scan pictures into the computer and import the media into their video oral histories.

    Range of Students skills

    The anticipated range of skills will be students who have little to no experience with a

    computer or a camera. On the other side of the spectrum there will be students who already know

    how to use both types of technology used for this project. Most of the students at Job Corps are

    from poverty and have never had a computer before. Others on the other hand have had a family

    member or friend that have a computer that they used often, allowing them to have basic skills

    with the computer. Those students who were fortunate to have a computer at home will be able

    to show the other students basic skills with the computer.

    Staffing Needs

    There will be little need for any other staff member besides the teacher. The class size is

    not very large and the teacher will be able to monitor all of the students on her own. Permission

    will be needed from the TABE coordinator to use the computers in his room. He will be able to

    help the students with basic needs on the computer while the teacher is occupied with another

    student or problem. There is little to no extra help at Cassadaga Job Corps making it difficult to

    ever create projects with more than one staff member needed. The teacher will be the primary

    adult in the room answering questions.

    Reflection

    My Growth

    In regards to my growth with using technology in the classroom, I feel as though I have

    grown a great deal over the course of the semester. Before I took this class I had no idea what a

    wikki was or how to use it to engage students while they collaborated on each others projects. I

    am young yet I was afraid of technology. I could use my phone and computer for what I needed

    them for, but was unaware of all the fun, interesting, useful applications they had to offer. Now

    that I have taken this course I feel that I am better prepared to use the technology in the

    classroom. Because of my being technology challenged I was afraid to use it in front of the

    students. I would create a lesson using something other than the projector and would begin to ask

    myself those paralyzing what ifs I would then decide to not use it because I was sure the

    technology would fail and I would not have a lesson plan to get the students refocused and

    continue doing work. Now I feel like I am better prepared to use the technology and feel as

    though I have learned a great deal. I feel I have learned enough to give me the confidence to

    create technology rich lessons and execute them.

    Plans for Growth

    Taken what I already know from edu 528 I will continue to use the technology introduced

    such as the rss feeds. I have created an igoogle page and plan to continue using it from this day

    forward. I really enjoy having the feeds come up in the morning when I have my coffee. I have

    subscribed to many different news feeds in order to stay caught up with current events. With my

  • 8/14/2019 Advanced Project 2 Edu 528

    8/17

    Roberge 7

    busy life it is easy to fall behind. I tell my students all the time that it is important to know and

    understand what is going on in the world. If I preach it I need to practice it. With the subscription

    to the news rss feeds I will more easily be able to access the news.

    I have also decided that I would like to know more about the Ipod and the many uses in

    the classroom. Since I have decided to learn more about it I purchased an Itouch and an ihome to

    further explore its many uses. I know that music is a very engaging tool, which my students will

    love if I understood how to creatively and successfully use the technology in the classroom.

    Since I am a reading teacher there are many lesson plans that involve music. One lesson plan I

    would really like to try is playing a rap song and then asking the students what literary

    techniques are used to create the catchy lyrics.

    Resources needed to continue growth

    I anticipate I will need to stay in touch with my professors so that I can continue to grow

    with technology. I am the type of person that is always so close to getting technology, but yet I

    am forgetting one little step that makes it so I am unsuccessful in using the technology.

    I will also need to have the itouch to continue to learn about its many uses in the

    classroom. To continue learning about this technology I will also need to use the internet to

    guide me. I have found that teachertube and youtube are very helpful when looking into finding

    tutorials on technology and its uses in the classroom.

    Since I will also continue to use cloud technology such as the wikkiI will need to

    continue using the wetpaint site and the edublogs. I truly enjoy reading what other teachers are

    doing in their classrooms and what types of activities the students really responded to.

    Stage 2 Assessment EvidenceStudents will demonstrate their learning/understanding in the following way(s):

    Teacher-Created AssessmentsPre-test: the pre-test will consist of a survey. The teacher will begin the unit by handing out a survey for

    the students to complete telling the teacher what experience they have had with computers, windows

    movie maker, and flip cams.

    Post-test: The post test will consist of the teacher giving out a similar survey as the pre-test. The survey

    will ask the students what they have learned about the new technology. It will also ask the students

    opinions about how easy the technology was to use and how much fun it was to use.

    (Performance Assessments: )The students will be graded on their original use of the flip cam to film his/her oral history. The second

    piece of the project that will be graded is the finished edited version of the oral history. The students

    must use windows movie maker to edit and add to their oral history.

    (Other Assessments: Peer, Self)While the students are presenting his/her oral history their peers will be filling out peer review forms. All

    students will need to fill out one form per student presentation.

    (Assessment Adaptations)These assessments will not need to be adapted because the students will be given plenty of time to work

    on his/her projects with the teacher. The students with IEPs stating that they need extra time will have

    the time they need to complete his/her project. If the student is struggling too much the teacher will pair

    the student up with another student familiar with the technology.

    6. The teacher will answer all questions thestudents have about the flip cam.

    7. The teacher will then begin the lesson byexplaining what the students will be doing

    with the flip cam.

    8. The teacher will let the students know thatthey will be creating an oral history of a

    family member. They will use the flip cam to

    video tape the interview. Once the students

    have videotaped the family member they

    will need to use windows movie maker to

    create an edited version of the oral history.

    9. The teacher will explain that the studentswill be allowed to take the flip cam home

    with them, but they will need to buddy up

    with someone that lives nearby. The

    students will need to meet with their

    partner to trade off the flip cam over the

    break. Each student will need to leave some

    type of collateral to ensure that the camera

    will be returned in working order. Any and

    all damages will be taken from their student

    pay.

    import and insert other pictures they might

    want to add to their story board and oral

    history.4. After the teacher is done giving the tutorial

    the teacher will show her example.

    5. The teacher will then allow the students toplay with the program for the remaining

    part of the class.

    6. The teacher will pass out the flip cams and

    teacher explain what the project will be

    about and how they will use the flip cam to

    complete the project.

    8. The students will continue to listen to theteacher.

    9. The students will continue to listen to theteacher and think about who they will share

    their flip cam with. The students will also

    need to think about what object the

    students will give the teacher as collateral.

  • 8/14/2019 Advanced Project 2 Edu 528

    16/17

    Roberge 15

    present their projects.

    2. The teacher will instruct the students thatthey will need to fill out a critique form

    while their peer presents his/her project.

    This will count as part of their grade.

    3. The teacher will pass out the critique formsand allow the students to ask any questions

    they might have.

    4. While the students present the teacher willcritique and score the students

    presentations.

    5. The teacher will collect all of the completedcritique forms from the students.

    6. The teacher will then pass out the posttestsurvey.

    7. Once the students complete their surveythe teacher will collected the completed

    ones.

    *the teacher will not know how long the

    presentations will be; therefore, the teacher will

    plan for more than 45 min the last day of the unit.

    2. The students will listen to the teachersinstructions about how to fill out the

    critique forms.

    3. The students will take the forms from theteacher.

    4. The students will present their projects.While their peers are presenting the

    students will fill out their forms.

    5. At the end of the presentations the studentswill hand in their completed forms.

    6. The students will except the survey theteacher is handing out and complete the

    survey.

    7. The students will hand in their completedposttest survey.

    Adaptations to the Instructional Sequence to Differentiate: There will be very few if any adaptions to the

    instruction. The teacher will be available for any questions the students might have. If the student is

    struggling and is becoming too frustrated they will be allowed to work with another advanced student. If forsome reason there is a student that has no one to interview that student will be allowed to work with a

    partner as well.

    Discussion and Assessment of Learning:

    This lesson was created to show students the new technology that is in the world to make peoples jobs

    easier. In the past the students had to use a hand held recorder to interview family members. When they were

    done recording they then had to transcribe the entire interview. This is a long and tedious project. With the

    use of flip cams the students no longer have to transcribe their interviews. They will now be able to show

    people what the person looks likes and sounds like. Also using windows movie maker allows the students to

    edit and add to their videos.

    Closure:

    Extensions for early finishers: If a student is finished before the others they will be allowed to scan

    and input photos into their story boards. If the student does not have photos to scan then they will be

    allowed to find pictures that will fit into their oral history story board.

    Alternate strategies for struggling students or those who learn differently: The struggling students

    will be able to work with the teacher closely during this project. If for some reason they are

    struggling so much they become very frustrated they will be allowed to work with a partner.

    Procedures:

    Modeling, partner work, presentations, independent work.

    Lesson Development ResourcesTechnology Tools and Materials:

    The teacher will need to use the computer lab.

    Windows movie maker About 15 to 20 flip cams All programs and cds that come with the camera A projector (for presentations)

    (Parent/Community Resources)

    Since the students live on campus there will be no need to ask for community help. The student will needto reach out to a family member so that they will be able to interview them for their oral history project.
