Today's lecture began by Jenni discussing how important it is to make sure that we refer to the Marking Rubric to ensure that each element that is required in Task 3 has been included in our Wiki sites. I remember thinking how important Jenni's advice was because my group had just realised, (a couple of hours before the lecture), that we had left out some required elements. Fortunately, (from mistakes made in past tasks), regular checking of the Marking Rubric enabled us to add the elements that we had missed i.e. links from the lesson page and teacher tips.
The next part of the lecture focused on the online presentation requirements which included the need to demonstrate, (through narration and visuals), how the group worked together to create the resource and an overview of the project. Jenni showed examples of PowerPoint presentation for Task 3 that were created last year, (including "The Nutty Nutritionists"), and explained that if we was to use PowerPoint we would have to upload it to authorSTREAM in order to record a narration. On the LMS, (under Task 3), Jenni has created a page where she has embedded a variety of example videos that explain some of the technologies that can be used to create narrated online presentations that can then be embedded into a Wiki site.
The lecture concluded with Jenni discussing the Peer Review system for Task 3 and the importance of completing the reviews in order to give and receive constructive feedback and to accumulate marks. Jenni also re-enforced the need for each student to complete a Task 3 cover sheet in order to be assessed and for one group member to input our Wiki URL into the Task 3 sign-up sheet to enable our Wiki site to be reviewed.
After the lecture my group decided that we would use PowerPoint uploaded to authorSTREAM to create our online presentation because Jenni had mentioned that it is difficult to create a screencast video from PowerPoint slides.
I am feeling really excited about creating our online presentation because my group has so many ideas, (that we were jotting down during the lecture), to produce an engaging and informative short video. This is a good example of how collaborative learning can lead to a more creative end product because a variety of different views, experiences and skills are being drawn upon.
