Hello everybody,
My group decided to focus on a 6th grade math standard, understanding and describing the relationship of ratios. The three of us worked together to come up with a creative narrative for discussing this concept. Viola! Pizza! Utilizing the storyboard template, we were able to come up with a collection of scenes that would tell a story and apply ratios. What I believe is key to creating instructional videos and the most valuable lesson I learned through this process was the importance of preparation! Preparation encourages everyone to be onboard with your video concept and irons out any potential issues. I think what could have made our video even better was more practice in running the lines with each other. Also, just taking the time to brainstorm and come up with as many ideas as possible without a time constraint and the time to tinker with ideas might have enhanced the final product. For me personally, the biggest learning curve was working with iMovie. This is something I have never done before and always considered to time consuming to tackle. However, I felt that the setup and operations of iMovie were fairly intuitive and accessible by folks like me with little editing experience. I look forward to playing around more with iMovie in developing supplemental curriculum for my future classroom.

The ISTE Standards that best match this activity include:
1B. Engage students in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and processes
2A. Design or adapt relevant student learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity
3A. Demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
Thanks for reading!
