Update on my ImagineIT project
Okay, here goes...At this point, finished my rubric for grading student videos. I have the students regularly creating videos, and have graded their last two efforts. They have learned very quickly how to make a high quality video, embedding the actual problems from the book into their video, and then drawing their work around the problems. Their explanations need some work, but are coming along, and more importantly, are showing improvement each time. I think the most important success I have to celebrate at this point is that my students’ engagement is noticeably better (to me) than it has been in years past. Students look forward to creating the videos, and have gotten competitive about pushing the envelope, seeing just how creative they can be, given their limited amount of time. Overall, at this point, my imagineIT has been a bigger success than I ever could have imagined. I am thrilled at this point!
