Task 065 "Learning Together" Video


Learning Together
By Tiffany Hill


A.    How does this project fit within the established curriculum?
This video will be a collaborative engagement of the kindergarten unit of inquiry, How We Organize Ourselves.  Students will be exploring matter, chemical reactions, and process of production. This video assignment will also address the 21st century skills of collaboration, critical thinking, and problem solving skills.   It establishes motivation for kids to dig deeper and respond to a challenge presented by the 11th grade biology class here at ASB.  Students will be choosing video clips that will address the challenge. This project will also expose them to the scientific process early. 
B.    What is the educational goal and objective(s) of this project?
This video will be used during our Kindergarten learning morning for students to present along side their flowchart on process of production.  (Primary Years Program Unit of Inquiry, How We Organize Ourselves, Farm to Table)
C.    Why is it a potentially better way to have the students learn?
Creating this collaborative video is motivating and encourages students to be creative.  It encourages them to explore and express their learning in a new way.
