=**Welcome to the Collaborative Video Inquiry:**=

SESSION OBJECTIVES:

 * 1) To understand how technology supports pedagogy and content knowledge through an inquiry process.
 * 2) To understand how to structure a video inquiry activity with my students.
 * 3) To understand how to help students use video to show their learning and teach others.

In this session, we will explore ways for students to "create to learn" through the use of video production. You will learn three different approaches to creating videos in class that have varying levels of complexity, involve high levels of student engagement, and connect to targeted academic content and student learning outcomes.This session highlights and supports selected content from the [|Common Core Standards].

"Technological [|Pedagogical Content Knowledge] (TPACK) attempts to identify [|the nature of knowledge] required by teachers for technology integration in their teaching, while addressing the complex, multifaceted and situated nature of [|teacher knowledge]. At the heart of the TPACK framework, is the complex interplay of three primary forms of knowledge: Content, Pedagogy, and Technology. (Mishra&Koehler, 2011)"

Research to support the joining of technology and content can be found in Mishra & Koehler's: TPACK model 2006.

Collaborative Video Inquiry is a form of project based inquiry (PBI). The process of investigative learning that stems from inquiry. PBI takes the inquiry process to the next level by implementing projects as the platform for answering the compelling question. The development of the video adds another dimension of learning to the inquiry process. The Collaborative Video Inquiry will follow the PBI process but will focus on Video as the means in which one presents their findings.

Video is the most comprehensive tool to use within the PBI process. Video allows for moving and still images, graphics and pictures, voiced audio or recorded audio or sounds/music, as well as manipulation of the above aspects. Therefore, once the PBI process is implemented with video, the other options for creating projects (Web 2.0 tool, dramatizations, art, ect..) will be easily adapted into the process.

Throughout this process you will work collaboratively to investigate a topic of interest. You will begin with a question and end with a video product that answers the question. You will also share your products with others as a learning opportunity and a chance for evaluation.
