A presentation for the July 2012 Discovery Educator Network Summer Institute in Bozeman, Montana: As 21st century educators, we should to provide opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery and understanding of the curriculum not only with text but also with images, audio, and video. Dr. Wesley Fryer will invite and inspire you to become a better multimedia communicator and a pioneer with digital media in this dynamic presentation. Learn how to “expand the map” of assessment options in your classroom to include student products like narrated slideshows, enhanced eBooks including recorded audio, five photo stories with images, and more. Learn practical ways to overcome the anxiety and fear which often accompanies technology integration proposals by creating personal media products. Learn how to enhance your digital resume as a professional educator with examples of your own media creations as well as students projects you facilitate. Links to student media examples as well as project storyboards/tools are available on maps.playingwithmedia.com.

28. The Fire
There was a fire ban that year
But the carless campers left
Leaving smoldering remains behind
The fire that ate the forest
Wind whispered wordlessly in the trees
The fire was given new life
Like a new small heartbeat
The fire that ate the forest
Wednesday, July 25, 12
29. ...continued...
The fire lit the dry grass
It was gathering in strength
Like a lion preparing to strike
The fire that ate the forest
The fire now reached the trees
It was a wild beast let free
Grey smoke billowed up to the sky
The fire that ate the forest

66. ...when assigning a project, teachers look for
mastery of content and allow students to take
ownership of how they present that content. A
teacher may ask students to demonstrate their
knowledge of photosynthesis, but rather than
give them a specific means of doing so, will allow
the students to use any available resources to do
so. This not only gets the students innovating
more as they navigate through this task, but
more importantly makes each student’s
experience unique and gives them ownership
over the product they produce. Some students 15 March
may make posters, some a voicethread, some a 2012
powerpoint or prezi, but this should be no
problem for the educator as they are assessing
on mastery learning objectives and not actual
means of presenting them.
