Lights, Camera, Action:
Giving Your Students Real-World Experiences
(A How-To Case Study)
Thursday, January 22, 2009 5:00 PM EDT / 2:00 PM PDT
Students are excited and engaged in learning fueled by real-world experiences. Hand students video cameras and give them a chance to interview professionals and you have the makings for powerful STEM focused project-based experiences we call Career Bytes.
Find out how to do this through a live chat with Kevin Hampton and some of his TV and Video Production students. Kevin is the Video Production Coordinator for Ferguson-Florissant School District in Florissant, MO.
Kevin and his students created Career Bytes during NASA's Future Forum in St. Louis last March. These and other Future Forum Career Bytes can be viewed at the Nortel LearniT site, http://nortellearnit.org/NASA_Future_Forum//.
Topics the students will address during this chat:
· How do you get started, if you've never done anything like this before?
· What happens in a Career Bytes pre-production meeting?
· How do you make an interview GREAT for the guest AND your audience?
· What lessons did we learn from this experience?
