Please share your take aways from this experience. Please keep in mind these three questions when responding:

1. What evidence was seen that intellectual rigor was present?

2. Was student creativity present and how was it evident?

3. How did technology support student engagement and learning?

Students were evaluating and creating with rubrics.

Planning of science presentations and of collages representing events from American Revolution.

Video allowed students to see an example of a project. The students really enjoy technology and are extremely engaged. They really know how to manipulate it.

Intellectual rigor was definitely present in both lessons.

Students had to evaluate a teacher project, plan their own, video record their project, and share with the class to teach. Students also had to synthesize the information they've learned about the American Revolution to create a pic collage about the letter they were assigned. They had prior knowledge and access to multiple resources - print and digital.

Students were ACTIVELY engaged in learning during the entire observation, some students were engaged in collaboration. Both lessons were high rigor, high engagement...which leads to high student learning. Awesome job, ladies!

The rubric was very helpful especially how they graded Mangano's video. The children were able to justify why they gave her a certain grade. I absolutely loved the ABCs of the revolutionary war! I am going to steal that wonderful idea for next week! The children are doing a wonderful job with Pic Collage!

Great job of keeping the students engaged in both classes!

I could definitely see using Videolicious and Picollage in various ways with my students

I think that the use of technology was appropriate.

I really saw the rigor in both lessons that we observed.

It seemed as if the students were involved in higher

Order thinking questions, rather than the "drill and

kill" activities that are seen a lot.
