You sound great! Because I have so little experience with the Interwrite Board, it was good to see that integrated into your presentation and the students collaborating in trying to resolve a problem. Your script was well written as well. good job.
Thanks LaTosha! The students did a great job. We actually had another piece that we were going to add instead of the one you viewed, but I had a difficult time hearing the sound on it. In the right setting, I know you would find using the interactive whiteboard very helpful.
Lonetree, the sound was a bit low. I had so many challenges with the first one that I was glad to hear any sound!
I think it is so important to teach the youth how to think critically. I think because there is so much technology out there the students tend to find the easy way out by googling in the question and looking for an answer with little questioning or thought on how the answer was derived. The students enjoy working with technology especially the interactive whiteboards so it keeps their attention. The students participate more in the lesson and I am able to monitor who is actually doing something without having to go to each individual desk. So assessing the work and whether they have some understanding is easy. Thank you for viewing the video. Vanessa
Good job Vanessa. The audio was a little difficult but was feasible. Now, to the good stuff: Video outline and format was well done and I enjoyed the use of technology that you showed as well. Interaction between teacher/student and even student/student is very important. It was also great to see you involved your students and not just involve them, but they were participating.. Good Job Vanessa!!
I especially liked the way you included pictures and videos of adolescents using critical thinking and technology. I agree that it is very important to teach students how to think reflectively and independently. Our videos are similar because we realize that the best ways for students to learn is through critical thinking, self-questioning, and collaboration. However, it was very difficult to hear your narration in the second part of the video.
The link below is a video that reinforces ideas mentioned in your presentation by giving a deep explanation of critical thinking http://attemptsatrationalbehavior.blogspot.com/2010/02/critical-thinking-101.html It also explains that intellectual arrogance, intellectual laziness, unwillingness to listen, and the lack of respect for reason and evidence can hinder the process of critical thinking.
Critical thinking is central to effective learning. You brought out the salient points well. The inclusion of the video of students attempting to solve a problem on the Interactive Board was helpful in highlighting the cooperative aspect of critical thinking.
The audio was rather low and, in places, unintelligible. Perhaps bringing a microphone in closer proximity would have captured the audio more effectively. I think moving from scene to scene in a brisker fashion would have kept the viewer engaged in the topic.
I know you have put in much time and effort in this project.

ReplyDeleteVanessa,
ReplyDeleteAs Tosh mentioned it was nice to see technology being used in the classroom! Also, I see that you do take advantage of peer to peer instruction!
Maybe it is me or my computer, I had trouble with hearing the audio after the Interwrite board appeared? Anyone else?
