Week 5 of 530
This week's work seems like it is the beginning of the end for this class (I didn't mean to make it sound so morbid). By developing a multimedia rubric based on everything that we've learned, I think it's clear that we're starting the process of tying together everything we've used. I believe that this is a great way of using our previous knowledge, applying it to our classroom instruction. I also thought that the advice on how to properly shop for multimedia was a good way to wrap things up. As we continue our adventures into digital storytelling, it's important to be able to shop efficiently and with purpose. Lastly, finishing off the Pecha Kucha is a little bit difficult, but certainly interesting. Twenty seconds per slide doesn't seem overly difficult on the surface, but it's hard to get the rhythm down on a consistent basis. Regardless, I think it is a great, concise way to give a presentation.

I agree Jared, you can feel the class is getting close to over. How did you feel the Rubric assignment was? I thought it worked out pretty well because I just had my students do an Animoto on the last week of school, but I didn't have a rubric to grade them on at that point. Yeah, the Pecha Kucha is hard to get the 20 seconds down. I found my self doing a lot of double or triple takes....sometimes more. However, my final product is good I think and it is nice to have a slide show that doesn't focus on one slide for a very long time.
ReplyDeleteI agree that this seems to be the end. Not many lose ends left out there. However, I must say I did enjoy all of the different programs I was introduced to in this class. The 20 seconds per slide seemed like a long time to fill sometimes, but other times it seemed like not enough.
ReplyDeleteJared, I think you hit the nail on the head in terms of tying thinks together and learning how the utilizing our new found programs and skills. Knowing, picking, and using most of these programs will help our students to become better learners and guarantee they have a strong technology base. The Pecha Kucha seems easy UNTIL you have the pleasure of complete one; I have a new found respect for anyone using these on a regular basis. How will you implement these into your classroom? What lessons would lend themselves better to the Pecha Kucha format?
