The assignments in EDLD 5363 Multimedia and Video Technology have been very useful. I learned about public service messages and how they are developed. I really liked the readings because it gave me a deeper understanding of concepts that I have been trying to pass on to my own students. Â The Digital Story Cookbook by Joe Lambert was an essential tool in this course. Not just for the first assignment. but for each one. Â It provided information on helping to develop a story for our videos. Â The first video was a pictorial based movie telling about an event in our life.
During weeks 3 through 5 students in the class worked together to develop a public service announcement. Â This was a very good project because it offered the chance for a group to work together over the Internet to complete a project. In working together over the Internet to develop the project we had to develop an idea, assign roles and meet on a regular basis to make sure each member had a clear understanding of the project. Â Using the tools on the Internet such as Google docs, our wiki site, gave me better understanding of these tools and how beneficial they really are. Â Our group created pages on a member of our groups wiki, where we shared ideas, produced a script and produced a final product.
I want to teach people how they can utilize these tools in order to develop a lessons in which students can work with other students throughout the district, or throughout the world to create a product. Â This opens doors to how others live that can be a positive influence on students who may have limited understanding of people from outside the current culture.
