Topic 8: Instructional Technology Example

Another lesson that I was able to see was one where students create a movie to show the substitute teacher when the regular teacher is out. The students became familiar with writing a script, filming themselves, and then arranging the video clips into a complete movie. They will then burn this for sharing with others. This was accomplished by introducing them to video and editing hardware and software and allowing students to create a project. Proficiency can be assessed through a checklist, a rubric, or simply by grading their written script.

I feel that the effectiveness of this lesson would be above average. The teacher addressed several different technologies by working on writing, reading, fluency, and technology skills all at once. I really liked the way that students would be proud to show their work to the substitute coming in.
