Use in the Classroom
I would use this video
in my classroom as an aide to my lesson.
I would first teach the students, in a longer lesson, how to take a
mixed number and turn it into an improper fraction. This video would be use in
case the students need to review how to complete the task whether it’s a day
after the lesson if they are reviewing for the unit assessment. The students will be able to easily review
how to make a mixed number an improper fraction. There would be other videos
and lessons on the opposite, taking an improper fraction and turning it into a
mixed number. The students will be able
to practice with the video to check for understanding. If they did not get the correct answer the
video will explain how to get the correct answer. One of the downsides of using this video as a
review would be the case if we, as a school did not have internet access for
the day or if the students needed to review at home and didn’t have internet at
their house.
Application
The design principles
I used for my instructional multimedia lesson were the Redundancy Principle,
the Modality Principle, and the Voice Principle. The Redundancy Principle uses graphics and
narration. In my short video I had
images on the screen as well as a narration to go along with those images. The
Modality Principle uses spoken words instead of printed words. My video uses both as far as the numbers go. I
did not have every word on the screen, I only included the important
ideas. Lastly, I used the Voice
Principle. The principle says that students will be more successful listening
to a human voice instead of a computer animated voice. I intentionally used the
Voice and Modality Principle in my video. I believe that this is supporting
creativity in the classroom because it is allowing the students to see
different and fun ways that their education can be presented to them. I am
hoping this will encourage my students to think in different, creative ways,
that are outside of the box.
Reflection:
·
This week I continued
to find more resources and ways to present ideas to my students. Instead of making it the usual I teach, you
listen, we can incorporate create videos by either making them or watching
videos professionally done or by their peers.
·
I think using videos
such as the videos we made and looked at this week could have a great impact in
a child’s education. If they video isn’t
made by me the students may be able to hear and get ideas on how to solve
problems from another teacher. I think
it would be interesting to get the other teachers in my school to create videos
as review for when a student moves to the next grade level. So if a fourth
grade student doesn’t remember how to do something that was taught in third
grade, they can go back and look at those review videos.
·
I think the most
difficult part about this week was trying to get the voice to match up with
what was on the screen. That was my
biggest frustration to me. It would be
interesting and I’m curious if other software is out there that makes it easier
to combine your voice and the text on the screen.
·
I enjoyed the thought
of creating a video that would help my students especially those students who
tend to struggle. They would be able to
go back and watch the video as many times as they would like until the understand
the topic.
