Make a video of your own at Animoto.
Animoto is a great way to share pictures and images of many
different ideas. I would be very open to exploring Animoto with my students
because it could be very challenging to find particular images with certain
shapes, letter, and numbers. I would like to have students create an Animoto
showing the progress of math steps and solving them using words, numbers, and
pictures. I especially appreciate that these videos can be shared at home.
Video production requires the application of a variety of research,
organization, visualization, and interpretation skills (Howland, Jonassen,
Marra, 2012). With criteria, students would be required to think deeply and
utilize their critical thinking skills in order to effectively produce their
video.
Rubrics on the other hand are considered more for teachers
to develop. Usually, students are provided with a teacher made rubric so they
are aware of how they will be assessed. Students are able to understand where
they lacked sufficient skill or where their strengths are because they are able
to pretty much grade themselves. I have never had this opportunity nor have I
been comfortable enough to present it to 6th graders, but I would
like to see learners create their own rubric in which they are given the
opportunity to express what they feel are the most important topics or items to
master.
