Summary
This project was designed as a way for students to not only master math concepts, but to teach each other by using their cell phones to create instructional videos and share them through Google Drive. This was another way for students to communicate to each other the process used to solve and check 2-step equations.
TIPC Ratings
Approaching – Teachers model strategies to guide student investigation and designed challenges that promote student synthesis of resources to address the authentic task of creating their instructional videos. Students assembled and organized information to address the authentic task.
Ideal/Target – Students chose their own groups, created group norms and worked together to video record their lessons using their smartphones. They created instructional tutorial videos on solving math problems and uploaded their final product to a Google Drive folder for presentation to their classmates and other classes. This benefitted students in other classrooms, by allowing them to learn/synthesize new math concepts. It also created a reference tool that could be used for remediation purposes. It paved the way for future formative assessments with students in those classrooms, using video selfies to demonstrate mastery.
Ideal/Target – This benefited students of all learning levels by allowing them to learn/synthesize new math concepts. It also created a reference tool that could be used for remediation purposes.
