In response to the recent challenge from te@chthought, I'm participating in a 30 day blogging mission, starting September 1st!
Day 19
Name three powerful ways students can reflect on their learning, then discuss closely the one you use most often.
In Media Arts, students reflect on their learning in these 3 ways:
1. Self-reflection through formative self-assessment (posting to their blog)
2. Sharing with an audience (rough cut screenings for class, final cut screenings for school)
3. Teaching the class (daily student-taught lessons at the start of each class)
The type of reflection I'm most excited about now is teaching the class.
(I call this activity "Dailies", referring to the film studio practice of
watching the footage shot the day before that was processed
overnight)
Yesterday, a student who was assigned to cover the app Aurasma did such a thorough job of teaching the class, that I had to email her and her parents that evening in congratulations.
She wasn't sure how to use the app, which allows people to embed content into an image, much like the way a QR code works.
Her lesson was so successful, that the entire class followed her lead and experimented with Aurasma. They were so engaged, they were trying to top each others' achievements one after the other.
