Overview of Task 3: Lesson Cycle #2
4
Self-‐reflec&on on instruc&onal prac&ces and the use of instruc&onal evidence: Task 2 asks you to demonstrate your understanding of and ability to implement the plan, teach, reflect elements of the Teaching-‐Learning Cycle in real Hme, and to describe, reflect on, and analyze how and why lesson planning decisions were made and how they were implemented.

q DraV answers to Task 3 in word processing program, and save to a file on your local computer q Upload video and evidence onto Task 3 of the submission system: :
• Segment video • Verify that video/evidence is scorable (e.g. video is audible, video/pdfs are viewable – carefully review en?re submission).
q Review and revise draV form answers for Task 3, copy final answers into RESA submission system, and apply forma]ng using the soVware tools necessary.
q Submit by February 15, 2015!
Selec?ng and Recording the lesson:
5
Choosing a Lesson to record
-‐ Reflects a balance of teaching lower-‐order knowledge and skills (e.g., facts, skills, procedures, conven?ons) and higher-‐order knowledge or thinking skills
-‐ Fosters student engagement
Choosing your segments in your submission
Show how you structure learning ac&vi&es, tasks, or discussions to engage students in developing their own understandings of the content and how you further your students’ knowledge and skills by ac?vely elici?ng and monitoring their understanding while teaching. Show student engagement in the learning ac&vi&es. The individual voices of students working should be audible so that the observer can hear their engagement.
Before recording: Explain the purpose of the video to your students before recording, and remind students that they should try to ignore the camera. Candidates must make a good faith effort to obtain the necessary consent forms from any par?es who will be recorded. A sample consent form can be found on the Resources Page. These forms will not be uploaded to the submission system but may be collected at a later date.
Uploading and Segmen?ng Videos
6
1. Use the NEW web-‐based media uploader for videos that are smaller than 1.5 GB. With the web-‐based uploader, candidates can upload videos directly to the submission system from their mobile devices. Candidates must use the downloadable media uploader for videos that are more than 1.5 GB. 2. Do not upload pre-‐edited videos to the submission system. The raw footage of the classroom must be uploaded. Candidates typically upload anywhere from 20-‐60 minutes of footage and then use the segmen?ng tool to iden?fy 2 segments that together are between 2-‐15 minutes in length. Just the submifed segments are scored. 3. Save video files as MOV or MP4 files: While our system accepts most AVI files, we have found that some AVI files were not accepted last year. 4. Use the Video Previewer in the online submission system to review evidence before submi_ng tasks to ensure that evidence is in the correct orienta&on, viewable, audible and legible.
See Appendix F: Uploading, Segmen&ng, and Submi_ng Evidence Reference Guide (Video, Audio, and PDFs)
Video Uploading -‐ Tips
7
• Turn off pop-‐up blockers. Refer to your Internet browser’s help sec?on for specific instruc?ons on how to turn off pop-‐up blocking soVware.
• Keep your computer from &ming out: Step-‐by-‐step instruc?ons that describe how to keep a computer from going into “sleep” mode while uploading video to the Media Library can be found in the “Video Evidence in the Submission System” support document on the Resources page of www.OhioRESA.com.
• Limelight and School Computers: Candidates who use computers at their school computer labs to upload videos are advised to check with their IT staff to see if their network can access Vp.video.limelight.com as that will be needed for video uploading.
• Candidates may need assistance from your school IT staff to change these computer se]ngs if using a school computer.
• Do not upload videos of your paper instruc&onal evidence. Please scan and save documents as PDF files.

Trouble shoo?ng ?ps from the Help Desk: Dropbox
DropBox is a work-‐around for candidates who are experiencing difficulty uploading their videos and served 6% of candidates for Task 1. It is a plaoorm by which you can share your video with the help desk, and they can upload your video to your media library. If you have exhausted all op?ons for video upload, please contact the help desk. DropBox may take a few days to process at the Help Desk. Begin your video upload process as soon as possible to see if the Dropbox work-‐around is required.
AVer determining that the DropBox video transfer is necessary, the help desk will send you an invita?on to provide your video to the folder created for you by the help desk.
DropBox Reminders for Video Upload • If you are already a Dropbox user, make sure you are first logged out of
DropBox when you open the email invita?on from the help desk. • If you are using dropbox for the first ?me, please note that you do not
need to download DropBox, and rather click on the link marked “DropBox website” aVer you click on the link.
• From there, you will see “Dropbox > 4 digit number > Your first and last name” at the top of the webpage. This shows that you are in the shared dropbox that the help desk can access. Do not upload your video to any other folder.
• Upload video (not the shortcut to the video!) from there. • Make sure that you do not close any windows while the upload process
is underway and that you have a strong connec?on to make sure that the upload process goes smoothly.
• Once the upload is complete, you will be able to view it and check to make sure the video plays with sound and visual issues.
• Alert the help desk at [email protected] that your video has been uploaded. If you do not hear back from them in 2 business days, follow up and with an email asking for a status check on your DropBox upload.
Checking your work: PDF previewer tool
11
Use the PDF Previewer in the online submission system to review evidence before submi]ng tasks to ensure that evidence is viewable, legible, and does not contain Personally Iden?fiable Informa?on. è Last year, there were a number of candidates who were penalized for PII violaHons or for uploading illegible or not viewable PDFs. Had they used the PDF preview tool to check their work, they could have caught their errors and their tasks would have been scored. Don’t let this happen to you this year.
Submi]ng your task
All forms must be “complete”
…before the submit bufon will turn blue and be able to be used.
How will I have confirma?on that I have submifed my task?
Your submission dashboard should look like this.
