Reflection
This
group assignment was to produce a video to help teach an idea or concept. The journey of this assignment was indeed an
interesting one which involved lots of wonderful experiences and lessons. At first there was a bit of conflict of interest
as to the choice of concept, but after careful consideration and much
discussion we decided on the concept of Personal Hygiene.
We
started off by filming a scene in the school and we were privileged to have
obtained the assistance of our class mates in playing roles for that scene and
shooting the scene. After a few takes, I
thought that we were ready to take on the rest of the video production but
little did I know, there were other challenges ahead. We subsequently rendezvoused at one of our member’s
house to continue filming and continue working on our assignment. One of
the challenges we faced was stabilizing the camcorder. Not having a tripod made it difficult to keep
the camcorder from shaking however we did our best to keep it stable. The lighting in the different shooting areas
(rooms) was also a challenge for us in filming the scenes so we did what we
could with our bit of knowledge and skill to acquire the best lighting we could
have obtained. Another challenge we
overcame that I will never forget is that in the process of working diligently,
hunger struck or as we say “the Kong stricked” but we easily overcame that
challenge as one of our competent members fixed us lunch, “boy dat fri-rice
come dong!” We created a blog which at
first attempt was incomplete but with diligent effort and modification was made
complete. We also did adjustments to the
lesson plan and the storyboard that were constructed previously. I personally had lots of fun drawing and
coloring the pictures for the storyboard.
I
am thankful for this assignment. It
brought out our creativity and caused us to use our different skills to
organize ideas for incorporating technology in the teaching of Personal
Hygiene. I am grateful for my team
members (Kate, Kisha, Fercinta) who were versatile and cooperative, kudos to
you. I’m also grateful to my fellow
classmates for their contributions in one way or another and to our lecture Mr.
Emmanuel for timely feedback. I am of
the conviction that as a result of this assignment, we the upcoming teachers
will be better equipped and competent to make teaching and learning a fun and
meaningful experience.
