W4 - Final Project -Tessa Perlman
http://www.viddler.com/explore/TessaPerlman/videos/11/
http://www.viddler.com/explore/TessaPerlman/videos/11/
INTRODUCTION:
I used the emergent web 2.0 tool called ANIMOTO. This emergent technology tool creates 30 second video clips, and the student may design from hundreds of different styles of themes. It is for all ages, and in my lesson I focused on my parental involvement with my daughter (Abby Perlman) at her school (Morganton Day School). Abby is a 4th grade student working on a project concerning the use of technology to share her story of debating why BIOMASS is a wonderful resource for energy.
The Purpose & Focus:
Is to educate the student to use ANIMOTO as a video resource, & share her experience on the web with her debate team & her audience.
PROCEDURE:
To demonstrate the students ability to discuss what she learned on video and share it in a iMovie documentary style video for educational purposes. The student will explain and direct her animoto videos one, and Animoto video two.
COLLABORATE, COMMUNICATE, & CREATE:
The student (Abby Perlman) will collaborate with her 7 peers using Animoto, she will communicate & share her experience on iMovie with parental involvement how she created her two separate http://www.viddler.com/explore/TessaPerlman/videos/11/Animoto videos.
As I reflect on this experience it was fun, creative, and educational for parents & students attending Morganton Day School. The experience is preparing these students for a 21st century education, and this school also just won a $50,000 dollar PEPSI technology grant. Without the parents, & wonderful school this project would not have been possible. Thank you Full Sail University for the assignment in my ETC class with Prof. Rena Hanaway, thank you PEPSI COLA, and thank you Morganton Day School!
The students have a class room wiki site where they converse, support, & share each others creative ideas. (MDS4thwikispaces) by invitation only via the schools technology department. This was the way we assessed, and we followed a rubric we created prior to the project.

PE5 A web 2.0 tool I choose Animoto.com
Have you ever explained an assignment and your looking at your class and they are looking back at you "with the deer in the headlights look" ? So they need a visual, so give it to them.....
LINK to animoto.com
This was the homework assignment that was the prelude to the biomass debate. Ya know when they were looking at me like I was crazy. Before any discussions, research, Internet access, field trips........
It helps tremendously when you can show them a student's assignment from the previous year that did an extra great job. So your verbally explaining your directive, and showing the class a visual example they can relate to. The assignment had a 30 second rule, and the class was advised to not go over 30 seconds. This was really to help give them boundaries since they had no prior experience with editing. Music also was required, and if they did not enjoy the assignment they had to type their reasons why.
Another web 2.0 tool that you might prefer is Quixey.com if you need video editing, and the ability to make graphs & charts. I hope you found this helpful, and I look forward to any comments you have to offer to my blog.

PE 4 A new tool that compliments every lesson would be STICKPICK.com
MY LINK TO Stick_Pick_Video_Demo.html
Fellow teachers,
So who does not have a can of pop sickle sticks on their desk with each student's name on a stick? Have you ever had a student sneak & grab the stick with his name on it? Or her name without asking you first? Well, I have & that is how that student got one over on me. Yes, after an entire day I finally figured out that I had asked a.k.a. "Johnny" any questions all day long. So if you by this app, and put it on your iphone, ipad, or ipod you will not have to keep up with who you missed, and who stole their stick! The application also tracks the correct answers, and what you might want to review if the answers were not up to par. Because the application tracked every students answers, this tool helped me to assess who comprehended the lesson. It also helped me understand which students required more 1- on - 1 time and extra re-direction. Teaching debate strategies to 4th grade students concerning bio diversity requires organization. This Stick Pick application helped me direct the debate, deliver questions between students who were proving their point through discussion based on evidence. Also we debated who proved their data by discussing the facts they gathered during personal interviews at the local nuclear power plant, (a recent field trip). The debate was leveled by grade, then we progressed to individual winners who continued to debate their findings & data. So here is a link, & I strongly urge you to invest in this app & who doesn't need an ipod at the bare minimum? I mean seriously ..... my mom even has one!

W3 RILS Research - Practical Experience implementation video
My LINK to my W4 RILS (Relevant Innovative Learning Scenarios Video)
My target audience is elementary age students, and their
parents by using technology. Materials will be extensive,
ipads, ipods, smart board, document camera, projector, clickers, cameras, h d
video flip cameras, mac book pro, adobe photoshop, iMovie, and wifi. The app is
called Stick Pick, and it goes far beyond the old fashioned can of sticks. I
learned about this app from a peer on my Full Sail University graduate studies
team Cynthia Mandanski). When a teacher makes a stick for a student, she can
assign the appropriate level of Bloom's questioning for the student's ability.
When the teacher taps or shakes the can, a name randomly is chosen. When the
student's name is selected, there are appropriate Bloom's question starters
ready to go. Taking it even further, the teacher can record to what level the
student answered the question (1-5). The following rubric is used in Stick Pick
to apply appropriate objectives:
Bloom's & Bloom’s Revised:
After selecting “correct,” “incorrect,” or “opinion,” a 5-point "Critical
Thinking Rubric" will appear on the screen. Rate the student’s response
from 0-5. The choices are:
0= No Response;
1= Shows No Understanding;
2 = Partial Understanding;
3 = Adequate Understanding;
4 = Clear & Accurate;
5 = Insightful & Confident
This can be useful
for ongoing, formative assessments. At the end of each day, the teacher has the
ability to search the student rosters to determine how many questions each
student answered, and how well each student answered. This information is
valuable for data-driven instruction.
The app itself is fun
to use. The graphics are bright and clear. The sound effects make it really
come to life. It is simple and straightforward. Teachers even have the option
to randomly OR intentionally draw a student's stick from the can. I have this
app downloaded on my iPhone, and the stick can be drawn with a swipe, tap, or
shake. It is exciting for the kids to see. After the question is answered, the
teacher can place the stick back in the can to use again, or can be placed in
the "used" can. You have to use tthis app on a apple product, (ipad, iphone, ipod). It will not run on a mac book.

is my web 2.0 tool
I plan on using this
application with my elementary age students in small groups of 3rd,
4th, and 5th grade students learning to debate. I have
created a thematic unit based on new energy resources of power. Solar power,
wind power, and bio diverse power are what the students are going to debate.
The following video will give you a taste of multiple age groups supporting
each other through this process. The students discuss, compliment, and follow
through with social networking using the school’s face book site, and classroom
wiki pages. Further reflection is shown by students using www.animoto.com via i Movie to compliment and explain what they have learned
using videography. Each student will find stock photography images to help
develop their personal vision concerning renewable energy resources.

PE3 _ iMovie
After watching my lynda video tutorials I received my certificate. It was nice that each individual clip was short, around 3 to 9 min.clips. The lessons proved to help me use iMovie with greater ease. I could watch the video tutorial at the same time I worked on my current movie. I did not get my certificate immediately. I had to re-watch several videos in section/chapter 5 because I was not given credit the first time. This was a good review, but it did delay the deliver of my certificate. Customer & technical support redirected me with instructions to see that I did finish my assignment.
