Creating Video Lessons: Outline & Handout

United Streaming Plus PowerPoint

PeachStar-PowerPoint Combo - By Tony Mitchell

Last update: November 2007  Have trained RIV DTN DVD

 

 

Overview:

This class is designed to help you use video clips, already correlated and aligned with Georgia QCC objectives, and PowerPoint, to teach your classroom curriculum. Imagine being able to create a multimedia lesson in minutes, that include video clips demonstrating the concept you are trying to convey to your students. We will learn how to access PeachStar and download video clips pertinent to your curriculum. We will learn some basic steps in creating a PowerPoint slideshow. Finally we will learn how to incorporate the video clips into a multimedia lesson plan for you to present to your students.

 

Prior: 

Ø  Place some video clips on a shared drive for practice inserting into PPT

Ø  Be sure to have external speakers to hear videos

Ø  Be sure PowerPoint is installed on the computers I plan to use

Ø  Remember this works with AppleWorks 6 also

Ø  Check to be sure PeachStar download is not blocked at that school

Ø  Kiosk: iMovie of “Little Girl Concepts” to demonstrate how powerful video clips can be

Ø  Remember that if IE is not default, the method for getting it to ask is in Tools, Internet options, Programs tab……… toward bottom

 

Resource Preparation

Ø  Several example video lessons on teacher station for demo

Ø  Video segments set needs to be accessible to my students to copy to their computer and then work with me to add to PPT

 

Introductory remarks

Ø  Parking and the doors

Ø  Restrooms

Ø  Cell phones

Ø  If you are late or leave early, please note time on sign in sheet

Ø  My history………. Year experience, grades, children, marriage

Ø  My GOAL for today:

Ø  Help you appreciate all of the possibilities of this wonderful tool

Ø  Inspire you to try some new stuff with computers

Ø  Apology for varying levels of proficiency

 

Notes & advice

Ø  Give out handout

Ø  Listen and record the name or phrase for what you want to do, so you can search for details later (if you write every detail now, you won’t be able to keep up and we will all get frustrated)

Ø  Take a break when you need to; no formal ones

Ø  Lunch 11:30 – 12:30 (I’ll let you in back)

Ø  If you brought a flash drive, save all work there

 

OVERVIEW

Ø  A few introductory comments

Ø  Get a vision (viewing examples on big screen)

Ø  Watch the process as I demo (we will do together later)

·       Finding the video you want

·       Downloading the video you find

·       One big reason for using my method is to prevent streaming

Ø  Setting up an account

Ø  Guided practice of finding and downloading

Ø  View as videos are plugged into PowerPoint

Ø  Guided practice inserting videos

Ø  Independent practice – finding, downloading, and inserting video into PPT

Ø  Burning PPT work to CD

 

Intro and comments

Ø  Video can be a powerful teaching tool

Ø  Their world

Ø  Various learning modalities

Ø  Must be used correctly and correlated to GPS

 

Get a VISION - Brief  look at my examples: (SELL IDEA)

Ø  Show demos of what we will be making (must use CD)

Ø  They are on my temp storage data transfer cdrw cd

Ø  View:

·       Safety and Health

·       Solar system

·       Number patters

·       Erica’s video lesson

·       Shakespere

·       Eight parts of speech

·       Ecology and biomes

·       Awesome Arrays (Beth Math)

Step ONE WATCH FOR NOW: Locating an educational video that meets your needs

Ø  Getting to the site and signing in:

o   Perhaps use Firefox – it seems to work and I can enlarge text

o   Go to http://www.gpb.org/public/education/programs.jsp and click on the Video Streaming link on the right, middle of the page

o   We will setup your login later

§  Mine is tomitchell; f- pass

 

Ø  Searching methods –

o   Preface notes

§  Preference for searching method depends on style and or learning method, like Kindergarteners sorting

§  Breadcrumbs notes path

§  Notice grade level, segments, descriptions

o   demo all for locating fractions for grade 3

o   Left subject panel - Best for me

§  Panel narrows from subject to strands

§  Look at video description for grade levels

o   Grade level

o   Standard

§  This is best system if you want to copy paste standard and if you want to be sure you are only using correlated (justifiable) videos

§  it’s helpful to know standard number such as M3N5 for fractions

§  Related materials tab also has standard in text so you can copy and paste into lesson plans or PowerPoint slide as documentation

o   General keyword

o   Some things to notice when searching

§  Grade level

§  Length of video

§  ADD to play-list (for easier retrieval later)

 

Ø  Video page

o   Full Video or Video Segments tab

o   Related materials

§  Curriculum standards

§  Sometimes a teacher guide

§  Blackline masters

o   Citations ???

 

Ø  Media settings

o   Below video screen

o   Mac or Windows

o   Computer is not so picky, but PowerPoint is

 

 

Step TWO: Downloading the video clips to your computer (still watching)

Demo as download

 

Get everyone signed up and signed into United Streaming

Ø  Launch brower and go to this url: http://www.gpb.org/public/education/programs.jsp

Ø  Use school codes to get in, and then register (see school list in my folder

Ø  Suggested convention: tmitchelljns / usual password

Ø  Have them do one search and download with me

·       Standards search: health, grade 3

·       Take first, top standard with a video associated

·       GR3 - GA.2.        (Find videos meeting this standard)

·       Health Education: Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs: Consequences: Assesses the physical, mental, and social consequences of using alcohol, tobacco products, and other drugs.

·       Go through the entire process of finding and then downloading into appropriate folder

 

Initial Guided – Independent practice finding and downloading videos

 

Step THREE Setting up a PowerPoint lesson

Ø  Look again at some of my sample Safety and Health to demonstrate how a PowerPoint lesson can be better than just the videos

Ø  We will create a practice PPT with the segments I have placed on share drive as practice so:

·       They can use my downloaded segments or if they were success getting a few, they can use theres

·       Move movie segments from shared drive to their computer

·       Put segments in an appropriately name folder – Decimals and Fractions

·       Say : we are pretending you have already downloaded these segments

Ø  Launch PowerPoint

Ø  Make selections about appearance (We’ll do this together; just some basics)

Ø  On title slide indicate the name of this lesson (notice my example)

Ø  Go to File and Save As and save this presentation into the same folder the video clip are in

Ø  Create a new slide (Insert menu; we will discuss slide layout)

Ø  Type in the topic or introduction sentence for video clip

Ø  Go to the Insert menu and choose “Movies and Sounds” and then “Movies from File”

Ø  Navigate to the video clip you want to show with this slide and click OK

Ø  PowerPoint 2003 lets you have video fill screen when it starts playing: right click on video and choose Edit movie object

Ø  To pause a movie, click on it, to continue it, double click on it

Ø  Longer clips may need to be viewed again, so if you anticipate this put a hyperlink on the next slide that reads “Replay video” and link it to the video

Ø  Demo “Pen” usage in PPT “Slideshow” view: this allows me to write on my Slideshow slides, but any writing will not be saved to the show

 

Guided – Independent practice inserting video segments into PowerPoint

 

 

Burning (writing) video lessons to CD

Ø  Why might this be important - Keeping work safe for future

Ø  Video segments and PowerPoint file must be inside the same folder at the same level

Ø  Burn the folder containing the above mentioned files to the CD

Ø  You can then drag that folder to another computer if needed or merely play from CD

Ø  Lab computers and your teacher workstation have the necessary hardware and software

·       Nero in lab, some MTC’s have Instant CD/DVD; IBM’s have IBM Record Now

·       Directions for Nero are in the PeachStar folder within my folder on the shared drive

·       I will show you how to use other as you need it

Ø  Use a CD-RW data cd; this type is amendable

Ø  Let’s do it now

 

Helpful Resources

 

Downloading at school sites and home

Ø  So far I have checked these sites and could download movies from PeachStar: - River Road, Dawson, Edgewood, Johnson, South Columbus, Downtown, and Britt David

Ø  Can be done from home and might even be faster

 

Hyper-linking from PowerPoint to a program or document

Ø  Enter text on slide

Ø  Select text (highlight)

Ø  Go to Insert menu and choose Hyperlink

Ø  In the next window click on the top “Select” button

Ø  Navigate to the launch icon for a program or document

Ø  Click OK, then Click OK again

 

Sharing your “Video Lesson”

Ø  Sho vs presentation  .pps  or  .ppt 

o   .sho cannot be edited; like KidPix standalone

o   Personal issue: how much work did I put in; do I mind if someone else claims credit

Ø  Clips must accompany slideshow, and stay in the location from where they were inserted into the slideshow

Ø  Size: mine is 34 MB; 1.2 MB for slideshow, 32 for clips

Ø  Sharing with those teachers who do not have PowerPoint on their computer

o   They will need PowerPoint player – free download from internet

o   “Burning” a CD, include PowerPoint Players

o   Too large for diskette

o   Zip drive is a possibility

 

Later / old references

Summer ideas

Ø  Look through clips and view large segment to see what, if any clips you want

Ø  Download clips to your home computer in whichever format will work with your presentation application (WMP or QT)

Ø  Test your process after you have download a few clips

Ø  Burn clips to cd

Ø  Move clips from cd to your school computer

Ø  Create your presentations

 

Linking ideas and possibilities

Ø  Hypertext links can be used to launch movies in Word and AppleWorks 6

Ø  Hypertext linking can also be used as a work-around for playing a movie in PowerPoint, when the PowerPoint movie insertion does not support the movie format downloaded. Example: Mac PowerPoint will only play Quicktime movies, but (IF I HAVE THE FREE WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER INSTALLED ON MY MAC COMPUTER), I can hyperlink to the movie file and launch it using another program (WMP mentioned in parenthesis above)

Ø  Quicktime and Windows Media players can be downloaded free from the internet
