Let your students become the teacher through use of the collaboration space in OneNote. Don't just drone through review of concepts, allow students to lead the way and create a model of collaboration in your classroom. Check out the template here. How to Set It Up 1. Create a table in your collaboration space with 3 columns and enough rows to cover the concepts for your unit. 2. Your first column is for your list of concepts, 2nd column will be for 1st Student Video Post, and 3rd column is for the 2nd Student Video Post. 3. List the concepts you would like to be covered in the rows of Column 1. For example, the topic is Cells. So topics might include: Why are cells the building blocks of life? Differences in plant and animal cells. Explanations of Organelles. Why does size matter in cells? 4. Students will then sign up for a topic, in my example there would be a place for no more than 2 students to sign-up. Students place the name in the box that corresponds with the topic that they have chosen. 5. Students will spend time planning their videos, time is a matter of preference by the teacher. 6. Students insert video into space with their name. Reflection and Evaluation of Videos These can be used as formally or informally as the teacher wants. Rubrics can be made for students making videos, or they can be given larger amounts of freedom. Either way, quality of work will increase if work will be watched by more than just the teacher. Option 1: Students are given a list of questions each video should answer, and they evaluate their peers on how well those questions were answered. They can provide feedback on how videos could be improved or could offer positive reflections. Option 2: Students are required to watch 1 of the 2 video topics and leave a comment. Option 3: Students can choose topics that they need the most help with and watch BOTH videos within that topic. They can describe how those videos were different or similar. Option 4: Students must summarize thoughts of their peers in the video but those summaries are not shared with the class. Option 5: Students are given time in class to watch videos and then a teacher lead discussion occurs to evaluate the content of the videos. I think the possibilities are quite numerous and hopefully the above gives you some ideas to work with. Students who can teach, are going to have an increase in their learning and in turn you are going to create a library of videos to help others in the classroom.
