I have enjoyed reviewing my journey through the program by creating the Action Journey Sketchnote and by reading through previous work to plan for the various pages on the Learning Innovation Lab website. It's been challenging to stay focused while getting information from diverse places, but I'm using a Google document to keep my notes, images, and connections organized. The checklist for what goes on each page is helpful in making sure nothing is left out.
The past capstone videos have been enjoyable to view, as they show the caliber of work that we're looking for and explain what the creators want us to focus on in their work. The twist of creating a mini-documentary is appealing as Point of View is going to matter more than a traditional presentation format. While watching the mini-documentaries and instructional videos, I've been considering initial ideas for a storyline. My mini-documentary is intended for teachers and instructional leaders. It's important that they understand that student research is embedded throughout standards, yet needs to be explicitly taught. Attention needs to be paid to the Research Cycle and what students experience throughout their research. Far too often, teachers try to incorporate student inquiry and then face seemingly insurmountable challenges and return to more traditional teacher-led instruction. Teachers need training and support to empower them in maintaining student inquiry as an integral part of their classroom practices. My storytelling will emphasize the need and the "gap" in what students and teachers need to do in regards to student research - and then focus on the supports available to help teachers gain ideas to use in their contexts.
