Making Curriculum Pop

Has any one used video clips of students to give feed back on their work or to use it as a tool for self assessment?

I teach kindergarten and I am looking for better ways to give feedback to the students.

NOT VIDEO CLIPS, BUT RECORDING ON IPOD. WHEN I DO RUNNING RECORDS, I RECORD THEIR READING ON MY IPOD. I CAN THEN DOWNLOAD THEIR READING ONTO MY LAPTOP WHERE I HAVE A FILE SET UP FOR EACH STUDENT. PERIODICALLY WE CONFERENCE USING THE RECORDING TO COMMENT ON STRENGTHS AND SET FUTURE READING GOLAS.
that sounds like a good idea. I am new to ipods so I will have to figure out how to do this???
I never thought about doing this for running records. I have an MP3, not an IPOD. I bet that would work too. I would be intrested in hearing how you record this on your laptop.
When you conference are the students able to hear the things you point out? Do you think that if they could see and hear their reading it would help to set future goals? Cool that you use the ipod in your class. I'm thinking about buying a new device for myself. I have been looking at the ipod4. Someone said I should just get a itouch. My teenagers call my phone the brick. I don't know? Still looking.
Dawn,
When students read their own work out loud to you, they often edit on the spot because they "hear" the mistakes. Then if they read out loud or record their work on a "recording," the rest of the class can comment. There are specific protocols you can use with your students to give warm feedback, then suggestions for revising.
Dawn, thanks for moving this to the Discussion Forum!! Check out this interesting project that uses video with Kindergarten kids! Julia's ABC Song Finds Its First Images
Kelly,
I know this site well! The town of Brookline uses Stephanie Harvey's reading comprehension toolkit which is very similar as far as the comprehension techniques students learn to use as they read. Each focuses on teaching explicit comprehension techniques as mini-lessons, and then the students "think" as they read. Very cool! And it works!
Dawn,
I videotaped a writing conference I had with a struggling student to show mom some of the strategies I used to help her child expand his ideas so she could help him in the same way. Parents and teachers should be a team and use the same language.
I agree we are a team working together.
Thanks for sharing. I have used audio recording with my class and I am looking forward to trying out the video.
I have started using Microsoft OneNote recently. I find it quite a powerful tool and one of the features that just blows me away is the ability to video something e.g. a student presentation,using a webcam. We use laptops. The video is embedded into OneNote and while you are filming or while you are reviewing the video, you are able to annotate the video by symply typing. The amazing thing is that when you click on a particular comment that you have made, the video finds that particular spot so you can view it while reading the comments. I teach high school so the students can just look at the video of themselves and follow the targetted comments. I suspect that at kindergarten, it would require someone to go through it with them, but you have the prompts so they still get the targetted feedback and can watch themselves.
Hi,

I teach at a high school and we use laptops. Recently I've started using Microsoft OneNote and it has the facility to record video using a webcam. The video is immediately imbedded within the program. The great thing about this feature is that you are able to annotate the video either while it is recording or when you view it at a later date. After it is annotated you can just click on the annotation and the video goes to the place in the video where you made the annotation. The students are able to see themselves giving the presentation and then get your ideas on it. At Kindergarten level they may generally need someone reading the annotation for them but they would still gain the feedback. I have found this method to be incredibly powerful and very easy to share with the student involved.
Sorry for repeating myself, but I didn't think the original went through....Southern Hemisphere lag time?
