EDLD 5363 - Week 3 Reflection


The week three assignment consisted of a team collaboration to develop an educational video that meets Core Content standards and state standards in one of the main for subject areas. For the team assignment, my group consists of Lisa Breaux, Jennifer Wilkins Colvin, Michelle Tidwell and myself.  We all have main areas that we will focus on, but we will all collaborate together to complete all of the phases of the project together.  Michelle Tidwell will act as our team leader and server as our unit production manager.  Lisa Breaux will be our narrator.  Jennifer Wilkins Colvin will be the main editor and script writer.  I will serve as the main camera operator.  So far we worked together to complete our script and shot list. 


Our video will be produced for 5th grade science.  The topic will be about the bees and their part in the food chain as well as their life cycle.  This meets the Texas TEKS standards 9 and 10 (organisms and environments) for fifth grade science (Texas Education Agency, 2010).  I suggested the topic of bees because I thought it would be interesting to students of that age group (Center for Educational and Training Technology, 2006).  I also suggested this topic because I knew that I would be able to get access to an active bee hive.

To complete this project we will are using WeVideo.  A web based video editor that Jennifer suggested.  We will take a variety of video shots and keeping them short and piecing them together to form our story.  We are also utilizing the method of telling the end of story at the beginning (Desktop-Video-Guide, n.d.).  Overall I think our group is working well together and we will be able to collaborate to create an excellent video that we would be proud to show in our classrooms.
