Kentucky Curriculum Connections
Student-produced videos can be useful as instructional tools and are positive examples of blending technology and Core Content in the classroom for inspiring learning. They can be viewed from a variety of perspectives:
- Core Content instruction
- examples of ways to embed Core Content within video production units
- instructional tools or how-to guides for video production
- sources of inspiration for new lessons or units
- sources of ideas for video projects or documentaries, especially ones with local color, interest, and/or historical significance
- instructional openings for discussing health and other safety issues, including public service announcements
- examples of formats, features, and interviews for expanding or updating news programs
School-produced videos also demonstrate correlations to the following Kentucky Academic Expectations:
- 1.1: Students use reference tools such as dictionaries, almanacs, encyclopedias, and computer reference programs and research tools such as interviews and surveys to find the information they need to meet specific demands, explore interests, or solve specific problems.
- 1.11: Students write using appropriate forms, conventions, and styles to communicate ideas and information to different audiences for different purposes.
- 1.12: Students speak using appropriate forms, conventions, and styles to communicate ideas and information to different audiences for different purposes.
- 1.16: Students use computers and other kinds of technology to collect, organize, and communicate information and ideas.
