Cathy Eoute and Amy Ray from Berea High School did a wonderful job of illustrating how media specialists and teachers can collaborate to effectively integrate technology, writing across the curriculum and 21st Century Standards into a math standards-based lesson that results in an authentic assessment that students acually enjoy!
Cathy collaborated with Amy to help teach her students to create movies illustrating concepts in math. Amy uses these movies as an introduction or review for units.
Equipment:
Cathy has some great ideas about really focusing on making quality video using relatively inexpesive equipment and making the best use of the equipment she does have. Cathy purchased 7 licenses for Adobe Premiere Elements and installed them strategically on computers in the media center so that they are easily accessible for small groups.
Project Timeline:
Students were required to create storyboards and write scripts before they were allowed to even touch a computer. Amy outlined the math requirements for their projects and Cathy took care of copyright education, research and instruction for filming and editing their videos.

Thank you for sharing the PPT and notes. This was one of the sessions I wanted to attend, but missed each time it was presented. Math is one of the subjects I have a hard time getting teachers to collaborate and create research or library/tech projects. I like this concept of study tutorials and think the math commercial idea is a great one to add when we finally restart our news program.
