Standard III

Task Appropriate Tools in Problem-Solving

Use task-appropriate tools to synthesize knowledge, create and modify solutions, and evaluate results in a way that supports the work of individuals and groups in problem-solving situations.

I believe that we have a wealth of choices in the way that we teach if we will incorporate technology. The application of technology to every possible environment from math experiments to physics to social studies allows our students to not only learn the knowledge that comes from books but to experiment and document their learning.

Artifact #3

Descriptors:Video Camera Techniques, Editing, Web Authoring, communicating

Title: Video Do's and Don'ts

Course: Video 105

Date Created: March 2003

Source: Fossil Ridge High School

Media: Dreamweaver, Photoshop

Description:Using any footage of a short video, or still shots, create a web essay to demonstrate techniques that are recommended and contrast them to demonstrate the effect of incorrect use of camera angles and techniques in the shooting of a video product. Discuss each technique with it's benefits or detriments.

Rationale:I have chosen this artifact to demonstrate the necessity for beginners to learn the pitfalls of the medium by seeing a demonstration of the applications. For instance, this webpage uses still shots from video that was used to chronical a World Geography Class and their study of Ancient Egypt. The event was a highly publicized event and the video was promoted on the Campus homepage for Fossil Ridge in the form of a movie. The page seeks to demonstrate the good and bad camera techniques that were shot during the event.

Implications for future: By demonstrating the correct and incorrect camera techniques, the students can plan better video shots and do better editing of their assignments.

Reviewers Comments:Standard III- Artifact III You did a great job on demonstrating the good and the bad techniques for taking pictures for videoing. The web page is very attractive. The background is very soothing and does not interfere with the pictures. Great job!
