Well today we were working with third graders, and they’d been working on some different podcasting and we’ve been trying to work on poetry, and also tying it into relationships of friendship and being friends.

So, we created a podcast first of their animal project, but then we turned this around and made it into a friendship iMovie, to show them the other components and they become the producers.

Before we started even with the podcasting, the biggest thing that I tell them whenever they’re creating any type of project is the planning. They have to do the storyboarding, and they have to do the planning, they have to know what their task is ahead of time. And so we work on a lot of the big six skills, of identifying those tasks, from where they are going to get their resources and different aspects of that. And when it comes to movie making or digital story telling or any of those skills, the planning is the most important part.

Hi. I’m Bessie and this is my poem:
I am a cat as brown as a tree
I sleep like a biscuit and eat very fast I land on my feet and run really fast I am a cat.

Note: The TIM is about teaching, not technology. The placement of a lesson on the TIM is based entirely on the teaching practices demonstrated in the lesson and not on the specific technology employed. Effective pedagogy is our concern, not whether the tech involved is the latest, greatest, or most expensive. In fact, most of the sample videos were recorded some time ago as part of the original development of the Technology Integration Matrix. As you view these videos, focus on the teaching practices. When using the TIM-O to observe a lesson, remember that you can display the detailed indicators by clicking the tab on the right if you are completing a Matrix-based observation or are reviewing the TIM profile of a question-based lesson. The TIM Tools Admin Guide contains additional suggestions for observing a lesson and developing a TIM profile.
