Mrs. Marin's "Welcome to Your World" Photostory Project 2012

For this project, I created a Photostory presentation to be used with my students as an introduction to my class at the start of the school year.




The presentation I showed to the class was a History Channel video clip about Vikings--very cool!

Johnston video Elite 2

Students in my 4th grade Medieval Studies class made videos of each other explaining three things that they could do today to live a chivalrous life. Here is one video:

Media Projects

I recently had my students create presentations using Photo Story, Animoto, Glogster, or Prezi.  Many of the students chose photo story and the projects look great!!  I am a little shocked at how little the students know about some of these programs as well as how much "hand-holding" was needed to help produce a good presentation.

Socialization Video Assignment

Students were given an assignment to create a video demonstrating their understanding of the agents of socialization and how those agents have personally impact them. The assignment was a huge success for most students. It took a lot of time, but they enjoyed it and it worked. I will bring a couple of the DVD's to the meeting with me.

Here is a video I show for the stages of grief:

I currently have a student teacher so I have not assigned a video assignment.  However, earlier in the year my kids created children's stories using storybook.

Video projects

First: in IB theatre we watched Rhinoceros by Eugene Ionesco on Netflix to introduce them to Theatre of the Absurd that is more accessible.

Second: we created a PSA for the theatre program with a group called Show-Me Arts Advocacy. Here is the link:

Engineering Class Competition Video

Students from LHS's Engineering team create a video for submission to STLCC contest.

German listening activity

I wanted to make a video using clips the kids tookof themselves using irregular German verbs.  However, I did not get enough usable clips.  So I made this up on YouTube and am using it as a listening activity for my 7th graders' test this Thursday and Friday.  I have new clips of a German house that I would like to edit into a video for my 8th graders, and hopefully Colin will show me how to do that!

Derickson - Video Project

Derickson, Moehlmann, c10

This was challenging...until Angie showed me what I was doing wrong :)

I think this tool will be very useful in the future for vocabulary studying for my students.

Brian Tobias' video for Brown v. Board

First graders tell about their whale study

My first graders have spent 3 class periods studying the whales of the world. They completed this study by drawing and then painting their type of whale, on a scale of 1' =1". You will see these paintings and hear the students telling about them, on our photostory link here.

Video in the classroom

Student Creation-Students from Service Group Komfort 4 Kids needed to create a video to launch the Service Project's mission.  They made it in Movie Maker.  I have also had students create video for an Economic concept.  They are a lot of fun to watch.

Hoffman's Audio - Pirates' Adventure

One of my reading groups acted out this readers' theater skit using Google Voice. They loved this activity.

Geometry Vocabulary Video

Make your own slideshow at Animoto.

This is a geometry vocabulary video that my fifth graders made to begin the unit. It was easy to use, and they really enjoy watching it. 

Flight

Students watch video of flight.

MAP Concentration Words

My students created this video using MAP concentration vocabulay words. The students helped create the video, and they view it daily to help prepare them for the MAP test.

Diane Hoffman's Consumption Video

I used this video of Tim Tebow reading the book, Green Eggs & Ham, to students. I showed this video to my reading groups to let them see that not even famous people are comfortable with reading aloud. They found it fun to critique Tim Tebow's reading skills. Then the students discussed and compared their reading skills and attitudes to others.

Audio Project - Used as a bonus project during class

Audio Project

For my audio project, the students called in to explain how a room is heated up by convection. We talked about convection and observed a convection current in a beaker of water that was heated up on a hot plate. I put rice in the water so they could visually see the current. We talked about the process in great detail, wrote down explanations and drew diagrams. A few days later, I gave the students the audio assignment. They first said their name and then started explaining how convection works to heat up a living room.

I really enjoyed listening to the responses. Over all the kids did well answering the question. I recommended that the students would first write it out and then call in the answer. Most kids did this and it worked well. We played some of the responses in class and the kids loved it. They also loved seeing how the transcription was so different than the actual words the person used.

Some students messed up the first time, so they called back a second time to restart. The only complaint, if any, was that an "anonymous" student rapped a song about wearing pants. The nice thing is that it is easy to delete.
