Assignment:
Design an instructional plan that incorporates the use of digitized video. If you plan to create the video yourself, turn in the digital video file along with the written plan of how it will help students achieve the learning goal of your plan. Or, design a plan that requires students to create digital video(s). Create a sample product of what you’d expect them to turn in, as well as a written plan of how it will help students achieve the learning goal of your plan.

In both cases, the video must show understanding of the process of shooting video, capturing, editing with fades and titles, and presenting the video. You must also include a rubric or example of other means for assessing your students learning.
