Group Leadership Project - Part B Storyboard and Script

Our storyboard and script for the group project was created using Google Docs so we could all collaborate and contribute from our separate locations. Our screencast is aimed at teaching teachers:

• how to create an Edmodo teacher account and adjust the settings
• how to create a class group and student accounts
• directions for having students log in to their accounts
• instructions for retrieving student information
• and "how to's" on polling students

We all contributed to the project. My major contribution was the "script" and "transitions" portion of the assignment. The andragogy used in the script portion considered the needs of the adult learner.  Specifically, I tried to:

• help decrease anxiety by making connections to something most teachers already know (i.e. Facebook or at least the knowledge that our students are big users of Facebook!)
• trying to take a coaching rather than judging approach
• explaining why they need to know something (Edmodo would be a valuable tool in motivating students to participate)
• making the topic relevant to their immediate needs (again helping to motivate students)

(Malcolm Knowles, 1984).

Jing will be used for our final product.  One member will be the "voice" of the screencast. The rest of us will take care of editing, revising, and polishing the screencast. Click on the link below to see our Google Doc:
