ProjectsLinking Academics and Navigating Knowledge and Skills

I am so honored and blessed to be a part of this educational world. I love discovering and creating new ways to bring math alive in my classroom. My energy and passion for education allows my students to experience mathematics in a creative and innovative way. This new series is a collection of fun strategies, activities, and projects that will help motivate and inspire students to learn math.

Series 1 of our F.I.T. Exercises is our P.L.A.N.K.S. P.L.A.N.K.S. stand for Projects Linking Academics and Navigating Knowledge and Skills. Providing students with projects is a great opportunity to link what they have learn (academics) and navigate how well they can apply that knowledge with their skills to create a final product.

Each of the 9 projects in this series can be adapted to any grade, skill level, and topic. Directions and rubrics are provided for each P.L.A.N.K.S.

Video Blogging

 

A video blog is also known as a video log (v-log). It is created by embedding a video, video link, and supporting text and images.

Students can create a v-log to show their understanding of vocabulary words, steps/procedures, historical events, chapter reviews and more.

Steps:
1. Determine the objective or your goal.
2. Assign a topic to each student or group.
3. Have students create a storyboard to help them record their video.
4. Record using any video recording and video editing software. We often use iMovie or Windows Movie Maker.
5. If you have a class blog, embed your students video on the blog. Web hosting sites such as Teacher Tube, School Tube, or Vimeo are also great.
6. Have students view their classmates v-log and post comments.

Tips:
Use a rubric to assist in grading.

Ideas:
