Description:

TECS 570V(101) Standards Based Curriculum Using Video Production

This introductory course will focus on standards based curriculum utilizing a variety of tools and courseware in the video/computer environment that will support the classroom teachers' program. Participants will be introduced to the Hawaii Content Standards and National Standards. . Participants will be introduced to the instructional design process utilizing video that could be used in any classroom.

Basic video production techniques will be explored using Hi-8 and Digital 8 video technologies with editing done in a Macintosh environment. Participants will be asked to bring Hi-8 tape, video camera, curriculum resources, equipment and software currently used in their schools.

(Lab fee of $20 payable to Nuuanu School)

 

Purpose of Activity:

PROPOSAL FOR TECS 570V(101) Standards Based Curriculum Using Video Production

I.TECS 570V(101) Standards Based Curriculum Using Video Production

A.JUSTIFICATION:The Computer Education program needs to develop and

enhance curriculum standards. Students need to function in a

technological society with necessary skills for post-secondary education

or for the world of work. The purpose of this course is to provide needed

inservice training and instructional resources for teachers who have not

received training, or teachers who need to improve their background

knowledge to incorporate standards into their curriculum.

B.GOALS:This course is designed for teachers to explore the technology

resources to collaboratively plan, design and share ideas that integrates

across the curriculum standards.

C.DAILY/WEEKLY PLAN: (Each day will consist of instruction time and lab

time.)

Students will develop an electronic learning portfolio:

Contents of Learning Results Portfolio:

* standard-Based unit plan: all components must be included

* include at least 3 samples of students' work

* reflective journal addressing the following items:

* share information describing the integratiom process.

* how participants/students have met their challenges

* what participants/students have learned from the project

* what were the successes

* suggestions in improving the lesson.

* list Technology resources that were used in developing the lesson plan and explain how they were used.

* time sheet reflecting time spent on activities and integration of the lesson

Curriculum/Content Development

Group Activity

Essential/driving Questions - Essential questions are problem/issue-based that pushes the entire unit toward the culminating task. They spark our curiosity and sense of wonder. They derive from some deep wish to understand some thing which matters to us. In other words, what do you want your children to be able to answer at the end of the lesson. ex.- What does it mean to be free in a democratic society? Is there life in outer space? Are wetlands endangered? The Questioning Toolkit is an excellent site that explains what essential questions are and also different types of questions as well.
