This week we learned how to make a movie using Picasa, and how to evaluate a website. I found these lessons extremely useful because I can now evaluate websites on my own time, before I pull them up in class. As far as the Picasa assignment goes, this sort of lesson helps me make more appealing teaching materials to use in my future classroom. Creating movies that use pictures I have taken (or perhaps my students have taken!) could be much more exciting than using a random, old teaching material.
The standards we used this week are:
S3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning--The lessons deal with 21st century skills. They taught me to use a computer to make a movie, and how to look closely at websites.
S2. Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments--In lesson 5 I learned how to make a movie as a Digital-Age Learning Experience.
S1 Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity--The movie assignment would be a way for me to incorporate student ideas, and allow for them to contribute their own materials. It's a great resource for the classroom!
