Hypermedia lesson

The lesson plan below outlines the use of hypermedia--YouTube-- to enhance a lesson. Students access the clips and make cooperative notes on the different scanning techniques. As a form of Jigsaw activitiy, the students would then present to technique to their teammates, speed-dating is fun for this, and follow the notes, enhancing them if need be. All students would be asssessed on each of the scanning techniques.

Relative Advantage of Using Hypermedia in the Classroom

I have no issues with videoing myself; I think I have a face for TV, but I thought given the choice I would ask my colleagues how they used video in their lessons. Some really good ideas came out of this exercise and I think, with their permission, I will share the videos with the school community in order to expose more staff to cool stuff.

My own use of videos in the Science/Biology classroom would fit into various categories: stimulation material, instructional videos for flipping, extending the classroom in a redefinition style, and the use of video created by the students. A recent module, Analytical Chemistry, is all practical involving the students performing particular tests for ions and the use of burettes; the students video everything they do and embed their YouTube clips into a Google Slides presentation which is then assessed for their skills.

Lets hear from some colleagues:

Maths: focus on stimulus material

---

Physics: Focus on instruction of material that can't be brought into the classroom due to restrictions. Video creation by students.

---

Art and photography: Focus on instruction of new skills in a flipped format

---

Modern Foreign Languages: Focus on video creation which is peer assessed, TV programmes from around the world for culture and pronunciation.

---

Physical Education: Focus on student recording for self assessment using Coach's Eye - slow motion and comparison overlays against experts' techniques

---

Chemistry: Focus on stimulation material, instruction in flipped lesson format, remediation material as tutorials.

Final Instructional Design Project: ePortfolio and Target Setting Google Site

In the ePortfolio site below, the instruction materials for the ID project are built and presented in the Help page. The other pages in the site are for the students to use for their evidence and it is the instructional materials in the help page that provide them with the info they need to edit a Google Site.

Videos were built in alignment with Multimedia Design Principles (Clark, R. C., & Mayer, R. E. (2008)), and the pace of the YouTube demos are appropriate and uses an appropriately “conversational” style.
