Today in class I was showing a segment of a TED video,
Lots of teachers survey their students at the end of a class, some check at the end of the week and some do some sort of daily check for understanding. So lets look at the survey option, do we get the real feedback we want from our students?
So the premise of this app (.99 cents and the android app is coming) is that you get one second everyday to highlight what is important. It than will piece them together for a compilation video of your events. Over the course of a class. semester or full school year, students could create their video 1 second and one day at a time. Will they remember and be more connected to what they are learning? I asked my students if they could remember on important thing we did the first week of the semester. A few of them had answers relating to visuals in the room but most struggled. Are we past the, "well if you took good notes you could just go back and look"? Or more importantly has it evolved. Can students show there clips at the end of the semester and will it help you evaluate what your class is about? I think seeing what was important to my kids daily compared to what I thought was important is a great building and learning tool for me. Do students now have something to remind them of what was important? Could you share your compilation with them? One semester class = 90 seconds of video.
I am very excited to have students start using this app and will share updates as they happen.
Any comments, brain storming or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
and I started pondering the possibilities of using this newly released app in school.
