1. Instructional Focus:
Content areas/topics: Teachers can use system to prepare materials for use in any grade. If system is used by students to prepare reports, it is best suited for use in high school. We have news and history content appropriate civics, government, current events, or history; we also have NASA footage appropriate to science and history In collaboration with teachers, can identify multimedia material of interest to them and arrange to have that material digitized.
Process skills: Inquiry, critical thinking evaluation, individual or group instruction.
2. Target Population: Currently high school; potentially also K-8.
3. Summary Description: The product contains multimedia tools for search, non-linear access, and annotation of video and audio programs. The tools also help with the incorporation of multimedia material into Web documents.
The performers believe that multimedia material (video and audio) should be integrated into existing courses. They want to make video/film as easy to use a books. They also have as a goal increasing studentsŐ critical thinking about moving image presentations. Students should understand the importance of camera use, cutting, music, etc. in the formation of their opinion of the content of the piece. There are a few CD-ROMs with news by year, but they have a limited amount of material and do not cover the hidden messages of media stories.
4. Training and Staff Development:
- Teacher prerequisite skills/knowledge needed: Basic knowledge of Web.
- Student prerequisite skills needed: Basic knowledge of Web.
- Training needed/provided: Performers can provide training on use of the tools. Performers can also help teachers add video material to a Web site for use with the system.
