EDLD 5363 Week 2 Web Conference Reflection

Web Conference - June 17, 2012, 5:00 PM.

       In this evening’s web conference we discussed this week’s assignments; 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3.  Dr. Abernathy said that she is checking our work and talking to our IA’s about grading.  She discussed the assignment that is due tonight at midnight.  Dr. Abernathy related that she wants us to transfer to our students what we learn as her students. 
       We are at the end of week 2 of EDLD 5363.  We have created a video and podcast so far and used video and audio editing software.  (See my other posts for links to those projects.)  Dr. Abernathy led off the web conference by letting us know that we should be curriculum oriented as we think ahead to weeks three through five.  She said that, in the past, she had students create a public service announcement.  Now students are to create a core content, student-centered video project of no more than ninety seconds to two minutes in length.  She mentioned that we needed to keep the video to two minutes or less so that we could work easily with the files.  File size could become an issue as we share it between ourselves.  She suggested we design our video in the style of a flipped classroom. 
       “The flipped classroom model encompasses any use of using internet technology to leverage the learning in your classroom, so you can spend more time interacting with students instead of lecturing.  This is most commonly being done using teacher created videos (aka vodcasting) that students view outside of class time”(Overmyer, J., n.d.).
