| We remember 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what you see, 80% of what you experience and 95% of what you teach others. (Dale Edgar-Cone of Experience. With that in mind I'm having my S.W.A.T. (Students Working to Advance Technology) students creating tutorials for other students. This week we worked on tutorials for iMovie and Keynote. To do this we connected the iPad to a MacBook Pro, Quicktime for the recording, and a USB headset. I gave simple directions for this process: Pretend you are explaining this person who has never used the app before. We did one practice round, and the common feedback for each group was to remember to say what step they were on and why, for example "Now we are going to add titles.... to do this..." We didn't write any scripts, or come up with any elaborate introductions. What amazed me was the amount of student reflection that took place during this process. The students reflected and redid parts they felt were not correct. The students assisting gave appropriate feedback and worked together to complete the tutorials. I was happy with the process and so were my students. |
