  4. 1. For certain projects, the students could perform a skit and I can film them for their viewing pleasure as well as when I grade the skit it will be helpful to be able to go back and look at it again.
    2. For any student struggling with reading fluency and/or expression, they can record themselves and then we can view it together so they can get a better understanding of what I am noticing and hopefully we can fix it!
    3. In place of a weekly newsletter, I could film various lessons and activities, as well as student interviews and class shoutouts to send to the parents on a Friday so they can enjoy what their children have been doing and learning about in class for the week.

    I use videos everyday for behavior management. We record students doing certain things like unpacking in the morning. One teacher assistant will always pretend to be a student who does something wrong, we will film her and then a student performs the same action / behavior the right way. Afterwards we watch and analyze.
    We also record students presentations, especially current events that the students present weekly and group work to show how to work together, share , and take turns.

    1. Flipped classroom. The students can watch the video at home and then come in the next day to complete the lesson.
    2. Presentations. The students can have the option to create a video instead of a poster or powerpoint presentation.
    3. Resources. Students can watch teacher made videos at home if they are struggling with certain topics.

  7. 1) Using video to record lessons for a flipped classroom.
    2) Having students record themselves solving a problem, explaining out loud what they are doing up to the point where they get stuck. We can then review it and fix any errors or show what information they were missing to help jumpstart their process.
    3) Record lessons for colleagues to observe, since it is very difficult to have time during the school day to peer-observe but it is so valuable.

  8. 1. Extra help for students - since I only see students once a week, a video can help reinforce key ideas.
    2. Diversifying teacher presentation of material in the classroom.
    3. Extra rehearsal help for chorus students at home.

    Three Ways to Create and Use Videos in the Classroom:
    1) Create a video of students acting out a scene from a play, short story, or novel
    2) Create an enrichment video of visual interpretation of poetry emphasizing imagery, symbolism, and other figurative language
    3) Create a video of lessons for students who are on home instruction or have extended absences.

    1. Teacher created videos to teach concepts and then they can be viewed for additional reinforcement at home. (In addition to the videos made for Flipped Classroom lessons)
    2. Student created videos to show their understanding of a concept (culminating project).
    3. Share teacher made videos with colleagues to gain new ideas on how to teach a lesson.

    1. Students can create a video presentation instead of or accompanying a PowerPoint.
    2. I can create a video version of my lessons, so the students can watch them anytime they need to review the material.
    3. While in groups, students can record and share various real life situations learned in class such as going on a job interview, opening a bank account, negotiating a price for a car/house, etc.

  12. 1. I could create a video lesson and have students watch it at home before class. Then when students come in to class, I can break them into groups based on how well they understood the lesson and assign them different levels of practice problems. This would allow me to spend more time working with those students who need extra help. (Flipping the Classroom)
    2. I could prepare a lesson video and assign homework for students to watch at home if there was an unexpected school closing. This would prevent the class from falling behind.
    3. I could make a fun music video that explains a process or a lengthy formula to make it easy for students to remember.

  13. 1. I can use videos to support instruction as a FAQ for our district training.
    2. I can assist teachers in creating a variety of projects for their students.
    3. I can assist staff members with go to videos with quick answers.

  14. My students can create iMovie videos on the water cycle, moon phases, and Newton's laws of motion. For moon phases, students can create a moon phase rap much like the one found here http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=tcaj8LCg3fY. Students can also create a video for Newton's laws. They will first record several scenarios using the iPad and then put their recordings into an iMovie with text that explains each scenario and how it is an example of one of his laws. Finally, students will create a video of the water cycle. They will use the app iStopMotion to create a stop motion video of the water cycle and then add text and voice over to their video using iMovie.

  15. 1. I can create a video showing students different techniques that we will use for an upcoming project, so they can watch, learn, and know what to expect for the project.
    2. I can create a step-by-step project for my students for when I am out, so they can still create an artwork.
    3. Students can video themselves or their classmates throughout the school year, on the process of creating different artworks, and their final pieces. At the end of the school year they can edit it using iMovie, and turn it into a video version of an art show.

  16. 1. I can create a video demonstrating a project that students can refer back to if they were absent, need clarification, etc.
    2. I can record student presentations and critiques.
    3. I can create several videos demonstrating different art techniques that are used throughout the school that can be referenced.

  17. 1. I can video tape the students presentations in case any parent has a concern with the grade their child receives.
    2. I can use a video to help with students that are struggling. It can be based on the homework assignment, so they can go on the computer at home and watch.
    3. I can use video for guided reading time. The students that are working at a center can watch a video for the assignment they need to complete.

  18. 1. Every year the 7th grade goes on an Outdoor Education for three nights and four days. I can use a video/movie to preview the trip and also to make a movie afterwards with the many photos that we take each year
    2. This year I am going to flip my classroom with my grammar lessons.
    3. The kids can choose to make a video or movie instead of a Power Point presentation.

  19. I've seen videos used in multiple formats in the school districts I've been working for:

    1.) The Principal holds a "Wizard Assembly" at various point throughout the school year to help bring all the students together and to celebrate student successes! One aspect of each assembly that the students love is the slideshow created using Movie Maker. The Principal gathers pictures of the students and faculty members at different school functions and puts them to popular music. The kids love to see their picture up on the big screen!

    2.) I've seen teachers use different videos found on YouTube as a writing prompt. The videos are brief (and appropriate) and the teacher asks students to write about what they think happened before the video or what will happen after the video. The class that I observed really enjoyed this activity because it was so different than what they were used to.

    3.) A 3rd Grade teacher asked students create a video commercial to persuade their classmates to buy their product (a product they made up themselves). If the students didn't have the materials to film and upload their commercials at home, they were allowed to use the teacher's materials in the classroom. The videos came out great and the students really worked hard.

  20. 1. One way I use/plan to use imovie is using it as an option, as other people have stated, to present their information for projects.
    2. My students do a culminating end of the year video, which they work on through the year highlighting something they learned from that month. They burn them and they have memories to take home!
    3. My colleagues and I did an exemplar book talk because we have many book club opportunities throughout the year and we wanted to create a model for the students.

  21. 1. I can post directions in the form of a video for students to independently watch during learning centers.
    2. I can record video for a major project for students to reference repeatedly.
    3. I can record video to add interest to a lesson and/or for students who have been absent.
