Hi Rachel -- You have compiled a nice outline for your video presentation. I have not used Blackboard before (believe it or not -- I have used other products however) so this sounds quite entertaining. I have one constructive comment to make, which is that your use of "differentiating instruction," "diversifies instruction," and "diversified blackboard website" is a bit ambiguous. I am fairly certain that I understand what you are conveying in terms of a robust set of varied media for example, however, when reading your outline I am not 100% sure what you mean or how you are approaching the concept. This may just be a point of semantics and I hope my comment is helpful.
I look forward to your presentation.
Shane.
Hi Rachel,
Your outline looks good. Are you going to create a story board or some type of graphic representation? I began a story board with ppt, and wanted to know what your plan was as you progress. How and what program(s) are you planning on using in order to create the presenation?
