Washington Cohort Meeting 4-3-2013

Digital Content

• What digital resources are you using in your classroom? 
• Where do you find resources? 
• What content and/or idea are you most excited about?

How we use digital content/resources 

Supplement reading,

"Teacher Assistant" - help a student while you help others 

Lesson review - explain the lesson using Educreations video 

Provide more "location" or experience more than simply using photos or 

Snapshots of teaching and learning - Classroom video and pictures

• What videos do you learn from? 
• What type of video do you use in class now? 

Criteria for a GOOD instructional video:

RELEVANT - Standards-focused

1.  Visual - Instruction right down to the point
2.  Creative ways to present BORING material 
3.  Interactive - SOME way to elicit responses or stir action  
4.  Quality sound, picture - high def when possible!
5. Engaging
