For the purposes of this post I selected a video project I completed for my Wilkes Digital Storytelling course.
21st Century Learning PSA from Terri Stice on Vimeo.
This is a video created to use with educators to hopefully encourage them why it is important for them to keep on the cutting edge when it comes to technology tools kids use today.
The video is also accessible by clicking on the following link (http://www.vimeo.com/11312234). I encourage you to watch it, just because it features my little three-year old grand daughter who just happens to be one of the cutest little girls in the world (totally unbiased opinion)!
I try to use one of the rubrics included in this week’s readings; however, I didn’t think it was an appropriate rubric to use because it left out many important components of a video project, which are necessary to include in a good video project. This rubric focused on the video resolution, lighting, background and visuals of speaker. It seems the focus of this rubric for assessment was only from a technical perspective of the video. I believe for the video to be assessed more thoroughly it should include categories for the technical video components, but should also be modified to include categories such as content, organization, and creativity. There was a time I would have been all about the technical aspect of a video; however, since my Wilkes course on Digital Storytelling, I learned from the work of Jason Ohler and now creating video will never be the same, at least not from my perspective.
I foundnd this rubric, which seems to be a better rubric to assess all components of a video created by a student; however, I would need to tweak the rubric to better fit the purpose the student created this particular video.
