This week we put the finishing touches on our Pecha Kuchas, created rubrics to evaluate multimedia projects and evaluated multimedia hardware and software in our small groups.
I enjoyed the Pecha Kucha project and developed a new appreciation for storyboarding as part of the preparation process. Of all of the digital stories we submitted in this class, I found this one to be the easiest to put together in the final stages because of the storyboard. The system of putting to paper the images I had in mind and the words I would use to describe my story helped me to stay focused when I actually sat in front of the computer to compile my presentation. It was great and I plan to use the storyboard as a regular part of my preparation when it comes to multimedia presentations.
I like the idea of using a rubric, and while I am not a classroom teacher I think it would be useful in evaluating my own presentations as well as a tool for my staff to evaluate multimedia projects they put together for their own lessons. I am still thinking this through, so I have not put it together as of yet...
This has been a great class with a lot of new tools and techniques that I look forward to using in the work I do.

ReplyDeleteI liked your comment on how writing out the storyboard made it easier to create the Pecha Kucha. It's certainly not very feasible to just wing what you're going to say on your individual slides. In terms of the multimedia rubric, do you think this is something that your school district would consider using for its faculty?

ReplyDeleteI agree with you 100% about learning to appreciate the art of storyboarding thanks to the Pecha Kucha. I found that even though I ended up not saying word for word what I had written down, it gave me a great idea on what to say and helped guide me. Is this a concept that you will have your teachers use when working on presentations?
