In order to keep the technologically-involved students of today engaged in the curriculum
and learning, multiple modalities must be used. Students today are used to learning through the
computer, through YouTube video clips, and other kinds of media. One of these modalities is
the use of video. Smaldino, Lowther, and Russell (2012) state that using videos in the
curriculum can “take the learner almost anywhere and extend students‟ interests beyond the
walls of the classroom” (p.234). By engaging students with not only the traditional text-based
curriculum but also audio and video technology, student‟s learning can be expanded in four of
the major learning domains: cognitive, affective, psychomotor, and interpersonal (Smaldino,
Lowther, & Russell, 2012, p.235). It also provides the ability to meet the needs of many kinds of
diverse learners, including those with hearing impairment, those who may need more time for
processing of information, as well as with gifted students (Smaldino et al., 2012).
One of the many ways to incorporate videos into instruction is through the use of the
video to teach a specific process (Smaldino et al., 2012, p.242). I have chosen to create a video
that helps guides students through the process of creating a parabola using a piece of string and
then calculating, through interpolation, an equation that fits the parabola. This video will help to
allow students to first see how parabolas can be created in nature; this topic is one that they will
then be exploring on their own after this video presentation. It will also help students to
experience more practice of the process of interpolation, by seeing a demonstration of a teacher
actually solving the system of equations.
For my production of the instructional video, I first followed many of the steps of
videography as laid out by Smaldino et al. (2012). These steps include the preproduction
planning, recording, and editing of the work (Smaldino et al, 2012, p. 244). I first summarized
3. AUDIO & VIDEO PLANNING DOCUMENT 3
who my learners where and the subject area of my video. I then created a detailed script, which
depicted what shots I would record, what I would be saying in each shot, any music that would
be playing through transitions, as well as the graphics used. My final step was to create a visual
storyboard. A visual storyboard includes “a rough sketch of the scene, script, and any notes for
the camera operator, such as “zoom in for close-up of face””(Smaldino et al., 2012, p.244). This
provided a visual overview of the script. My video work was created using my Panasonic HDC-
SD90 Full HD video camera. I used Camtasia Studio to edit my video, record audio, and capture
screen shots and computer work.
Video Background Information

Target The learners are students at East High School in Madison, Wisconsin. There are
Learners
26 students in the class; 10 females and 16 males. Since this is an Algebra 2
course, the students are primarily either sophomores or juniors in high school.
The students who are sophomores are on-track to take AP Calculus their senior
year; the junior students are on-track to take Pre-Calculus their senior year.
There are 8 sophomores and 18 juniors. Three students in the class have
disabilities documented in an individualized education plan (IEP). None of
these students receive extra support services in class; one student is permitted
extra time on exams. Data regarding free/reduced lunch is not available for the
specific class; however, 58% of the school in total is eligible for free/reduced
lunch (Madison Metropolitan School District, 2012). There are 17 Caucasian
students, 1 Middle Eastern student, three Black students, 2 Hispanic students,
4. AUDIO & VIDEO PLANNING DOCUMENT 4
and 3 Asian students. The students all enjoy using technology during the class
time and tend to react enthusiastically when presented with assignments that
require the use of technology, especially presentations.

Degree of Equation needed. If I have an equation of degree "n", then I need at least
"n+1" points to create an equation to approximate the points.

three points.

The degree of the equation
determines how many points we
must choose to interpolate. Since
we are given a parabola that we
are trying to interpolate from to
create a quadratic equation, we
always need to pick three points.
We can now pick three points to
try to interpolate from.
Once we have three points
picked, we have to create our

This should be a review from the previous
PowerPoint that you did in your WebQuest.
Let’s graph our equation using our TI-83
graphing calculator to determine if our
equation matches our curve.
As you can see, our equation is a good
approximation of our hanging chain.
Now, let’s do this again to see what happens
to our “a”, “b”, and “c” when we change the
shape of the graph.
If we change the ends of our chain, we end
up creating three different points that we’ll
have to interpolate to create the equation.
We can see when we graph this that we
again created an equation that matched our
hanging chain. What did you notice about
the differences in ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ between the
two graphs?

Now that we have begun experimenting with the
hanging chain, I want you to continue this
experimentation to create a hypothesis about the
relationship of the values ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ and the
shape of the graph.
Answer the following questions. What happens if
the ends of the chain move further out? Closer
together? What if only one moves? What happens
to ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’ when you do that.
Visit the Interactive Parabola website, found linked
off of the web quest, and explore how changing the
values of a, b, and c impact the shape and direction
of the parabola. Compare their findings with their
hypothesis, and see how you fared!
You have now completed this part of your Process of
your WebQuest. Congratulations! Your next task will
be to begin your project of finding parabolas around
you in the world, and applying the same process that
we did here.
