Week+2-F500


 * __Laurie (both sections):__**
 * Started with housekeeping. Answered questions about last week (e.g. accounts, wikispaces) as well as questions about the flow of the class (e.g. what's due when, etc.)
 * Had everyone pull up wikispaces and check to make sure that their photo was uploaded. Explained the problem with picture naming conventions.
 * Connected the lab and lecture. Discussed shift (student shift and educational context shift, as well as how the shifts "collide"). Handed back their lecture #2 worksheets and commented on the overall themes.
 * Discussed storyboarding and showed examples. The class was confused about what the script should cover. We discussed this deliverable in more detail (e.g. length, focus, scope, etc.). Mentioned that they could work in groups of 2 if desired.
 * Discussed MovieMaker and had the whole class work through the example "How the TTL Saved My Day"
 * Shared tips (e.g. save in one folder, what to do if there are Xs on the pictures, how to save vs. publish, etc)
 * Demo'd how to record narration.
 * Discussed what is due for next week. See the PPT for more details of what was covered.
 * Left some time at the end of class for students to work on their storyboard, or to share their script with me for immediate feedback, or to ask questions about MovieMaker. Many students left; however, the students that stayed were grateful for the extra attention.

 * Chip**
 * I started with Oncourse, because it was actually functioning for about 10 minutes, then I returned to my PPT order (my PPT is in my lab resources folder for Week 2)
 * We addressed the issue of creating accounts (we are creating any accounts that have not yet been created as we need them - especially due to the problems last week
 * Lecture review and discussion: This section was actually about 45 minutes (!!!), and this was because the students were asking me questions about NCLB and "shift" as was I of them. Extremely good discussion as a group!
 * Discussion of what a digital story was, what its elements are, and what the point of a digital story was
 * What is the process of putting together a digital story: script --> Storyboard --> collection of images and recording of audio --> assembly of story --> publishing the story
 * Everyone broke into pairs and read their scripts to each other, with their partner offering suggestions and with students making notes on revisions to make to their stories
 * How to make a storyboard - think about it and doing it
 * A brief overview of Windows Movie Maker, including opening and saving project files, the collections area, the timeline, how to record audio, and to assemble images. Publishing a final movie was addressed
 * Students were made quite aware that I was treating this assignment not just as an exercise of their own self-expression, but I was also looking at how they learned the necessary skills on their own. They should be completely aware of the fact that I was not intending on teaching them everything, but getting them started. I saw this in a way as an exercise in testing their independent learning abilities...


 * __Minjing__**
 * Started with housekeeping. Answered questions about last week (e.g. worksheets)
 * Worked as a whole class to upload pictures to wikispaces. Explained the problem with picture naming conventions. And make sure that everyone has uploaded the picture (there were still several students whose seat was not listed on wiki, whose seat has been filled in by other students).
 * E-portfolio: Navigation area (ordering pages) and outlining About page (adding picture to the page, copyright information and seperating sections)
 * Went through the process of making a video, explained what a digital story is, showed examples of digital stories, explained what to write on the topic (this was the part that had a lot of confusion)
 * Demonstrated recording narration by Audacity, demonstrated editing a movie by using Movie Maker (How TTL Saved My Day), emphasized the importance of saving project file and movie file, and saving all the files in one folder.

 * Housekeeping- wikispaces (demonstrated how to upload photos); online accounts (created a Google form and let students fill in the form in order to collect their accounts information); problem-solving.
 * Discussion- connect lecture and lab: Posted some questions for students to have a deeper discussion, such as "do you think you are a digital native or digital immigrant?".
 * Introduction to digital storytelling: explained the educational use of digital storytelling.
 * Digital story examples: showed some good example videos and guided students to evaluate a video using the rubric.
 * Digital story boarding: introduced the steps to create a digital story board, designed a template for students to create their own digital story board.
 * Movie maker demo
 * Assignments for next week.


 * Serdar (both sections):**
 * Started with housekeeping
 * Showed them how to upload the pictures onto wikispaces but told them to do it within a week at their convenience
 * Reminded them to sanitize before and after the lab (I forgot to do this for wednesday section)
 * Reviewed the lecture
 * Talked about digital story. Before showing them the examples, I showed them the rubric, paired them with one another. Then I showed them the examples and had them evaluate based on rubric. We discussed the evaluation as a class.
 * With their pair, they read their script to each other and gave each other feedback.
 * I showed them the storyboard example.
 * With the example digital story we (Dabae, Lauire, and myself) put together, I walked them through creating one using all the source files I have. So, they experienced creating a digital story by using MovieMaker during the lab.

I think doing the moviemaker exercise in the lab removed the potential frustration since I haven't received any complain about the project or deadline.


 * __Sinem's Second Week__**

I distributed the lecture worksheets. I pointed out some general points about lecture worksheets such as my expectations from a worksheet and how I grade them. I told them to talk with me after the class if they had some problems in grading. I also asked them to check grade book on Oncourse in order to see whether they could see their grades. **
 * 1) Lecture Worksheet 2

 * 2) Pictures to Wiki-spaces Then, I showed how to upload their pictures to wiki spaces and asked them to upload their pictures, too. They all had their pictures with them. We had no problem in doing that. After they were done, I circulated and saw whether they uploaded correctly and whether they entered the necessary information under the picture. **======

 * 3) Introduction to Digital Storytelling I made an introduction to digital storytelling. I showed them two different digital-storytelling examples (good and bad). After they watched them, we made a brief discussion. They discussed about these videos within their groups. At the end, they shared the points that they figured out with the entire group. **======

**4) Steps for Digital Storytelling Project**
After making them familiar with the digital storytelling, I talked a lot about the project, requirements and expectations. I explained the project step by step and showed an example for each step. Then, we watched TTL video. And I showed each step in TTL video and how they created.

Steps: 1) Coming up with a topic 2) Write a script 3) Prepare media resources 4) Edit in digital storytelling program 5) Publish to a website (talk about it later) 

 * 5) Example of Digital Storytelling After watching TTL video, as a class, we re-created the TTL video step by step. All of my students created this video on their computers. I supplied the files beforehand. **======
