 * Evidence 1: [|Video Copiolet.net]**

This website was used with my 9-12th grade video production and special effects class. Students in this class work with the adobe suite of products to create videos. One of the Adobe products students are required to use is Adobe After Effects. This program can be a challenge to some students and once it is mastered; students can create some amazing effects. This website is full of videos and files that will allow students to create effects of their choosing.
 * Rationale 1:**

As a teacher, it is impossible to allow students to master all parts of these programs. I have to pick and choose the most important that will allow them to become successful in the class. There are always students that get ahead of rest and this website is a great tool for them. They can find effects that they are interested in and with the help from videos and example files, students can create them for themselves. Some like to just create amazing titles to their videos, while others will try to make people explode. The student that falls behind can have resources anywhere at any time to help catch up. The videos can be paused, rewound, and played to help complete assignments. Students really enjoyed some of the fun effects that they could create and their personality came out in their videos.

 * learning and performance, including **
 * different learning styles, multiple **

 * and can design instruction that helps use **
 * students’ strengths as the basis for **

Students are given instruction on how to use and create special effects during class time. Those students that get ahead or need a more individualized form of instruction can use this site to better their education in the class.


 * 3.S.2 The teacher use teaching approaches that are sensitive to **
 * the multiple experiences of learners and that address different **
 * learning and performance modes. **

These videos are used as an optional resource to my students. Many have used these as planning guides for future videos. With over 100 different effects, students can find one that encourages them to push forward in class.

Many of the students I get in this class are very quite. Just the opposite of what I expected. This site allows students to express who they are when they have the freedom to master an effect of their choice. They gain the confidence to succeed.
