MY REFLECTION
WHAT: This artifact is a video that I made with my 8th grade advisory students after one of my students after we were brainstorming together of what we should do for our next video project. We heard one of our students singing a song on the morning announcements and got the idea of a student talent show.
SO WHAT: This is an example of Danielson's Domain 4c of Professional Responsibilities of Service to School: Communicating with the larger community. This video is now posted on both the school website and the website VIMEO and is something that showcases the talents of boys and girls in our school from all grades sharing what they consider a special talent. Not only does this video reach out to the larger community with the engaging talent acts of our students, but within our school it helped the library reach out to all students no matter what their talent was and draw them into the library and the video lab within the library.
Today the video began running at lunch and I walked into the cafeteria during a 6th grade lunch to find the entire annex in the cafeteria filled with students watching and singing along to songs they knew and showing real interest and excitement about the videos they were watching.
In addition to the positive outreach this video created with the school community and the larger community, I believe it was an excellent learning experience for my students in the 8th grade advisory. They were able to repeatedly practice their video and editing skills and use their creative problem solving to find appropriate artwork to enhance the videos on the green screen.

NOW WHAT: In the next 10 days students will be watching the video in advisory or on their own, or in the cafeteria. I am putting the link for this onto the TRMS Library's website and students can watch and vote. I think the next step for me and my advisory is to see if we can draw enough TRMS staff into the library to do an adult talent show, that would also be a good community building activity.
