Unit Plan: Video Editing In The Classroom (3 Units, 22 Lessons, 27 Weeks)
Learning Objectives:
*Increase Motivation: The primary learning outcome of WeVideo will be to develop learners intrinsic motivation for learning by becoming content creators
*Become Producers: Learners will learn how to create artifacts and content rather than just consume them. They will become more media literate and learn how to troubleshoot and problem solve basic problems that arise in video editing programs
*Empower Students With Personalized Learning: Learners will be able to display understanding of assigned and self directed tasks by creating their own videos at their pace and place in authentic learning situations
*Collaborate & Share: Learners will be asked to work with peers, experts, and teachers to create their artifacts and share with the community or intended audience
*Foster Higher Level Critical Thinking Skills: Ask. Imagine. Plan. Create. Critique. Improve. Share. Reflect. Learners will display higher level skills such as asking essential questions, rationalization, evaluation, justification, reflection, collaboration, delegation, and interpretation through their artifacts
