Use in the Classroom
·
In the early elementary classroom setting, we
touch on planets briefly. Using the multimedia assessment with a video shifts
the responsibility from the teacher to the student. This gets students to
become independent and not have to rely on a teacher always. This also teaches
the students good testing strategies, where they can go back and re-read or in
this case re-watch the video to find the information necessary. I would like to
use this assessment before we begin a lesson or unit so the students gain some
knowledge prior to the lesson presented. This will hopefully help the students
gain some confidence about a topic.
·
The students will be able to become independent
learners by watching a video and answering questions based on that video. There
will not be a time limit. By listening, watching, and working at their own pace
gives an opportunity for those students who may struggle or find it hard to
concentrate during a lesson. This will also help those students gain some
information that they normally wouldn’t during a teacher led lesson.

I can incorporate project based learning into
my teaching almost on a weekly basis especially in science. The STEM standards
require a student to be an independent learner and to use that create side
using information provided.
·
The factors that could hold back my students
and my classroom is the cost and motivation. Many of my students come from
families who are low income. The school also does not have the money set aside
to provide and establish PBL. Motivation is also a factor. A good chunk of my
students simply lack the motivation necessary to complete projects that are all
student lead. This is something that I’ve been working with my students on
since day one. Once we get the students in the right mindset, I believe they
will become more successful.

The Principles for Designing Multimedia
Instruction with my lesson that were used are the Coherence Principle, the
Redundancy Principle, and the Pre-training Principle. All three of these
principles were purposely used for the use of technology with my lesson. The
Coherence Principle uses multimedia to present a lesson. I used the Space video
to present some information to the student before beginning the lesson
presented by myself, which is incudes the Pre-training Principle. The third
principle, Redundancy, using graphics and on screen information which is also
evident in my video.
Reflection

This week I have discovered several more
resources to use in my classroom. I’m excited to use this technology and share
it with my students. I have used technology as an assessment tool before this
week and it really does make my life easier because I don’t have to spend hours
grading and the students get their results instantly.

I really enjoyed the Multimedia Assessment
especially by using a video. I think my students will really enjoy this too.
They also like when we watch videos on anything in the classroom. I’m hoping
the students will take advantage of this technology in a positive way.

I have found many new resources to use this
week that will be very effective in my classroom. I believe the students will
really enjoy this technology as much as I do.

Multimedia Assessment
I love the video you found to use. Even though I'm certified to teach Earth and Space science there was information in there I didn't know, like how there are 42 dwarf planets in our solar system. Great job!
ReplyDeleteAwesome video though I believe Pluto got totally dissed in the end. 42 other dwarves besides Pluto? Dang, I guess that beats the seven I'll remember. But I will claim Dopey status because I did whiff on the outer two regions. Cool assessment, congrats.
