Further to my thoughts on the multimedia project, I have finally decided to let my students create a digital video capturing their involvement in a project on the use of alternative energy sources in the context of Trinidad and Tobago. This assignment has caused me to really question my expertise. I simply could not decide what to do as I toyed with many ideas. Anyway, the decision is made, sink or swim.
In all my years of teaching at Moruga Composite School I have never seen students so excited and motivated to do an assignment. My faith in teaching is renewed. On a sad note I had to purchase the camera since it was made clear to me that I could not use the school’s. Apparantly somes things are too valuable for teachers to use for lessons. I must admit that I was very surprised (shocked) by the turn of events. Things were progressing nicely up to this point.
Anyway, today is presentation day and I have invited the principal to class to observe what can be done with a precious digital video camera. I know the presentations will be great!
Students will be involved in capturing video, narrating, editing and final production of the piece. I cant wait to see the outcome!
