In creating this PSA, our group prepared a message related to inattentive texting. It is my opinion that attempting to multitask while texting is dangerous, irresponsible, and will lead to larger and long-term social problems than are currently apparent. We do not oppose texting, but we feel texting should be utilized more responsibly and in moderation.
The topic for our PSA took about two days to form as we bounced ideas off one another. After selecting a topic, we spent about an hour discussing ideas for scenes and a theme for our message. While we planned, practiced, and shot our scenes, we felt very confident and hopeful our PSA would turn out to be appealing and effective.
After filming our scenes, I was unable to participate in the editing process becuase I was scheduled to leave for another weekend of military training.
*Also of interest is to note the partners I had arranged to create a PSA with backed out because they decided to change thier grade contract and thus did not need to complete this project. I luckily was able to find Andrea and Molly.
As a future educator, I feel this experience will be beneficail in assisting and development of assessments and my expectations for student achievement. Because I know the fun and challenges of such assessments, I will be able to guide student projects towards successful completion. With the experience of the PSA and SLE, I will attempt to create group projects which are fairly simple, allow students significant autonomy in choosing a topic, and challenge students to effectively organize and communicate the understanding they have developed of material.
