Transcription de la présentation

  1. Vlogs, Blogs and Pod-Casts: Providing Vocabulary and Content Support at Home to Increase Student Retention Michelle Halvorsen, Texas School for the Deaf Austin, TX

  2. Agenda • What are Vlogs and Why Should You Use Them? • What did I do? Why did I do it? How did it work? • Example Vlogs and Ways to Use Vlogs with Your Students • Step by Step Demo • “Play” Time

  3. What are Vlogs and Pod-Casts? • Vlog or Vod-Cast • Video that can be uploaded to a website or downloaded to a student’s iPod or laptop for students to use a resource when reviewing vocabulary • Examples on my blog (this year’s blogs): http://halvorsenbiology.wordpress.com/ • http://halvorsenanatomy.wordpress.com/review-videos/ • http://halvorsenbasicbiology.wordpress.com/review-videos/ • Pod-Cast • An audio recording that can be uploaded to a website or downloaded to a student’s iPod for students to use as a resource when reviewing vocabulary

  4. Why Use Teacher-Created Vlogs or Pod-Casts? • Provides specific vocabulary and/or content support at home that directly relates to what has happened or is happening in your classroom • Increases student retention • Increases student participation and engagement • Increases parent awareness of topics covered in class • EASY to create and upload!

  5. How I First Used Vlogs: My Action Research Project • Students were given a Pre-Test to assess key vocabulary • During the unit, I created and posted a video review each day that new material was presented • Students were required to view and respond to the review videos (graded component to encourage participation) • Students were given a Post-Test to re-asses key vocabulary and to determine progress

  6. Impact on Student Performance (Pre-Test vs Post-Test Scores) • During my action research: • All students (except one) who viewed four or more videos showed at least a 7 point (25%) increase from their pre-test to their post-test • All students (except one) who viewed four or more videos received a passing score on the post-test • In contrast, the student who viewed only three out of seven videos showed a 15% point decrease from the pre-test to the post-test • Overall, this post-test had some of the highest scores of the year • Students who consistently viewed videos were also more engaged and participated more easily and freely during class discussions

  7. Other Uses ofVlogs/Pod-Casts • Students create their own! • Use for review or final projects • Use to document labs or do a video lab report • Use for discussions of current events

  8. Vlog/Pod-Cast Materials:What Do You Need? • Computer • Vlogs: • Web-cam, digital camera or video camera • iMovie (Mac), Movie-maker (PC) software for vlogs or AVS Video Editor (free software) • Pod-Casts • Audacity (free software for recording and editing) Garage Band, or iTunes for pod-casts • Microphone (available at most electronic stores for $20-30)

  9. The A-B-Cs of Vlogs and Pod-Casts • Decide how often you will create your videos or pod-casts • Each day, once each week, towards the end of a unit, etc • Write a short script to follow while making your video or pod-cast • Record your video or pod-cast • Edit (if necessary) your video or pod-cast • Post your video or pod-cast to your class blog, email to students and parents, and/or upload directly to student’s iPods
