LP2





Reflection
I incorporated a digital movie into a GPS lesson plan that required the student to use research, technology and writing within the assignment. The movie, while only one part of the lesson, was the final project and a great method of bringing together all that had been learned on the subject.
 * What was I supposed to accomplish and how?**

I learned how to put together a movie digitally through windows movie-maker. This was something that I was very leery of doing, however it ended up being very enjoyable, and a great creative outlet. In addition, I saw this as an excellent way of expounding on a research lesson that would give students a way of bringing together ideas and facts in a new and exciting way.
 * What did I learn (growth/progress)?**

I should have taken more time in editing my movie, as the volume control did not work as well as it could have. I do like the finished product, but I see much room for improvement- kind of like life. We're always learning- you make mistakes, you err, but in the end you learn. . . my God, do you learn.
 * What should I have done differently?**

As I love movies, and writing, I see this assignment as a way of bringing great ideas together "on the screen" for the rest of the class to see. What seems like fun and games is actually teaching the kids, possibly without them even realizing it. Learning has been slipped in through the back door when they weren't even looking- they were too busy having fun to notice. I think the digital movie is definitely something I will be using in my classroom.
 * Why is this artifact important to my targeted career?**
