Fall CUE 2012

Participants will learn to use their video-editing software (Windows and Mac) to conceive, narrate, and compose a multimedia digital story suitable to use as a classroom prototype.

Participants must bring their own laptop. Participants need to bring their own laptop with Photostory 3 for Windows, Windows Movie Maker 2.6, or iMovie '11 for Mac.

The Learning Innovation Lab is a free online community space where educators and youth an find learning projects, tools and resources to support universal design for learning, project-based learning, use of BYOD in the classroom and more.

This session introduces ways to use digital media tools to support and expand literacy education in the classroom and in a blended learning environment so that it includes multiple methods for students to represent and express their understanding of course content while finding the “best fit” for their particular interests and abilities. A design-based method is used to organize student learning and provide the framework for students to expand their abilities in multiple forms of meaning making. Particle classroom examples are provided to demonstrate and support presentation material. Suggestions for how to incorporate the design-based methods and possible assessment into existing curriculum are also addressed.
