Today, I am in a workshop about student creation for assessment. These assessments are flexible and can be used as formative or summative assessments.
Common Craft Videos: 2-3 minute videos that explain a topic or tell a story. The images are designed and created by students. Here’s some parameters for setting these up in your classroom.
Other options for video project creation are described in the presentation.
Tired of PowerPoint and having presentations “read” to you instead of presented? Try Ignite!
Some things to consider in advance:
- Setting up your classroom for effective video recording/presentation.
- Having access to supplies – magazines, paper, crayons, markers, etc.
- This does not have to be expensive. Use what you have on hand to create these videos.
- Use technology for the feedback, too. Google Docs can be a powerful and useful tool for this.
Flexibility is key, but with parameters. Be sure to plan for and allow student choice.
