 * Evidence1: Student Made Podcastsmedia type="file" key="Green Screen Directions.m4a" **

This piece of evidence is a student made podcast from my video production and special effects class. This class was made up of students in 9-12th grade. Students were given the opportunity to work with a video switch board to create a news broadcast. In the studio, students were required to use a green screen and create a weather broadcast. Due to one switch board and studio, the students groups may have up to three weeks before they have their turn to film their show. I had a student create a Podcast for my i Pod class, describing how to use the switch board to create the green screen effect. Later when students had their turn in the lab, if they needed a refresher, they could listen to the podcast as they worked with the equipment.
 * Rationale 1: **

This podcast gave me another way to evaluate the comprehension of my students. Not only did it become an aid to allow students to work independently, but it also gave me a chance to see that the concept was ingrained in them when they could teach another student. Because of the delay with the teacher guided instruction on the equipment and some groups actually using the material, it was very useful to students. They enjoyed creating the directions as well. **KSD:**
 * 1.K. 2 The teacher understands how **
 * students’ conceptual frameworks and their **
 * misconceptions for an area of knowledge **
 * can influence their learning. **

Students really took some ownership in the creation of these podcasts. Giving the power to teach over to the students gave them the opportunity to relate to their peers in the classroom while still covering the content needed.


 * 1.S.4 The teacher engages students in generating **
 * knowledge and testing hypotheses according to the **
 * methods of inquiry and standards of evidence used in **
 * the discipline. **

This activity gave students the chance to use i Pods in a way that really engaged them in the class. Many have never played with the voice recording and this is another part of the curriculum of video production that they were getting to work with.


 * 1.D.2 The teacher appreciates multiple **
 * perspectives and conveys to learners how **
 * knowledge is developed from the vantage point **
 * of the learner **

Because of the time delay with this lesson, having another student provide a resource to them was very helpful. A voice that was different than the normal instructor engaged the students better and made it more meaningful to the students who created it.
