During the June 17th web conference we discussed the week’s assignments. Dr. Abernathy stressed that she is checking our work and talking to our IA’s about grading. This weeks assignment was to create a podcast tutorial of a video editing software. This has been a very valuable assignment because I feel that it is closely related to what we might do with video in our classrooms and for professional development for teachers and staff. Dr. Abernathy related that she wants us to transfer to our students what we learn as her students.
Dr. Abernathy let us know that as we think ahead to weeks three through five, we should be curriculum oriented. She said that, in the past, she had students create a public service announcement. Now we are to create a core content, student-centered video project of ninety seconds to two minutes in length. She mentioned that we needed to keep the video to two minutes or less so that we could work easily with the files. File size could become an issue as we share it between ourselves. She suggested we design our video in the style of a flipped classroom. She also stressed that if we had assignment documents that mention the PSA then we have old documents and need to email her to get the correct assignment files.
As always I enjoyed this weeks web conference and I will also attend the conference tomorrow night. I enjoy the interaction with the other students in the course and I enjoy learning from their questions and information posted during the web conferences.
