Name of Project:

Innovation Hour Reflection Vlog: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

Driving Question:

How can I authenticate the reflection process for students as they move through the Innovation Hour pilot program?

Community Mentor and Contact Details:

Simon Erlich simon.erlich@smus.ca

Project Summary:

I will regularly post video clip compilations of students reflecting on their learning throughout the Innovation Hour pilot project to a blog that can be accessed by students, parents, and others interested in the project. I will periodically ask students questions that have them reflect on their successes, failures, obstacles, and growth. These questions will be given verbally and filmed. I will then edit the film clips to make reflection summaries.

Logistics:

Skills I need to learn to do:	Knowledge I must attain:	Resources I will need:
iMovie Adobe Premiere Editing Special FX	What questions will prompt meaningful reflection?	All available equipment in the broadcasting booth My MacBook Adobe Premiere Software
Green screen technology and software

Reflection

Each student must regularly reflect on their journey. We will be creating vlogs in which students will be filmed as they respond to some questions about the process, their successes, their failures, and next steps (picture Big Brother confessional booth-like). These video clips will be housed in the The SMUS Passion Project Blog and will be maintained by your teacher sponsor. Students will be encouraged to provide a link to the blog in their ePortfolios.
