Your Assignments

THREE ASSIGNMENTS due by August 19th
LIB 587

1.  Individual Video Project -- produce a short video on a topic you find useful to your situation.  (A favorite application for school librarians and media-specialists are "book-talks," which publicize and promote children's literature for your students.  See below for some examples.)

Then compress and upload your finished video to Youtube,* teachertube, or similar video-hosting website.
(*Note: You may need to create a youtube account if you don't already have one.  Follow the instructions on youtube.com to create your own account.)
 Example from LIB587 student Jason Higgelkie

Example of a narrative short-film with good shot selections

And here are a few examples of "book-talks" 





2.  Write up a lesson-plan or unit-plan which has, at its core, digital-video in a classroom or library/media-center setting.  Email that plan to the instructor.

Here's another example from LIB-508 alumni Jason Higgelkie


3.  Visit the blog at least one more time to look at the IVP's and Unit-plans submitted by your fellow students.  Leave comments and feedback for them that might be helpful.


And you're done!
