Time
Required:
Planning
- 3-4 Hours of teacher prep time
Pre
Lessons Activities - two full class periods
Implementation - two full class period to do video
conferencing with MOMA
Post
Lessons and Activities and Assessment - 1/2
of a class period
Logistical Planning:
Take class to the media center where the video
conferencing equipment will be set up by the media
specialist. Students will be set up in groups of
four. There are sixteen students in the class,
therefore there will be four groups. Students will
be wearing very large name tags around their necks so
that the video conferencing provider will be able to
address them by name. The class will need to go to
the library one day in advance so that video presets can
be done. We will have one preset for each group,
and at least one for an entire class image.
Technique and Observations:
Group discussion and response journals to let me
know what the learning outcomes were, and whether or not
the students found the video conference valuable. |
