- About Me:
- I have been in education for 29 years. I have taught 5th grade, been a technology director and webmaster. By engaging my students with technology, real time learning, music and the other arts, students learn how to learn. The more external response students receive from their efforts, the more engaged they seem become. I have been involved with writing and producing television documentaries for PBS and local origination programming since 1980. I try to bring these experiences into the classroom. These days, students are comfortably tech savy, I really like learning from the students as well.

From Narrowcasting to Broadcasting
Last week was a busy digital content acquisition week for me. Eh, I shot a lot of video. I had eleven year old students in preproduction researching and writing copy for a mid-December webcast while others were directing and producing the on-camera talent for the taping of the next weekly Good Morning Eastview. In addition, 5th grade students helped shoot a school musical, but not after we produced and e…

Thanks so much.

Just been watching your video, "What's the Big Idea". Cool! There should be more of this in the classrooms.

Loved watching Smarty the Dog. Please let your kids know that someone from Australia watched it and thought it was cool.
You are right in saying that the best learning comes from the reflection and critical thinking about our work. After my class had their claymation “The Land of the Grunkerlunkers” screened at the Re@ct Film Festival, they then wanted to show the rest of their own school. Unfortunately because we were so tight with our timelines we just didn’t get a chance beforehand. Anyway it was a good chance for us to ramp up the movie and really promote it before we showed all the other classes.
In the past my kids have had a mini film festival in our room, but this particular year because the kids were still on a high from having their movie screened on the big screen, they wanted to do something bigger and better. So we started a mini inquiry into what makes a great Movie Promotion. We used the Internet and our own experiences with going to the movies to brainstorm all the possible ways the big companies promote their latest release.
So the kids got themselves into groups according to interest and went about researching, making, fine tuning their promotional product. These ranged from movie posters, standees, previews, storybooks based on the movie, competitions, quizzes, bookmarks in the shape of the characters and so on.
Once all was completed the kids went off in groups to promote their movie in each of the classes. The standee and the posters were displayed in the library for about a week before the ‘release’! This all created a buzz about the movie, which was about bullying in the school yard. Kids were asking questions and wondering when it will be their turn to see it.
My students were over the moon. What a thrill. When the time came to show it off to the school they were just as excited as when they had it screen in the film festival. Oh and by the way kids gave donation to watch the movie that went into our Graduation fund.
To cap off the experience my students reflected on not only the product but on the process and teamwork involved. They used mindmaps, whole part whole graphic organisers, and Art Costa’s Habits of Mind. Unfortunately we didn’t upload to the Internet at the time and it is probably too late to do so now as I don’t think I have the right permission.
I would love to hear more about your future projects.
Cheers,
Helen
Nice work! I took a look at the 9-11 memorial service and Good Morning East View pieces. The students look like they have alot of fun making the Good Morning Eastview videos.Have you looked at I2 video projects? This might be of interest to you.
Cheers, Arnie
Thanks for the comments and the connections.
I'd be interested to hear more about your documentary movie projects and how you move those ideas in the classroom.
