Docs and supporting collateral for each of Ben's videos

Woot... Summer is here.... Time to get to work...

I finished the year by going to 3 concerts in a row... Wed May 22: Teenage Bottle Rockets, Thu May 23: Neon Trees, and May 24: Against Me!  Crazy fun, but I would not recommend staing up till 2:00 AM 3 nights in a row for the last 3days of school...:-)

OK, I'm going to note down my thoughts about some structural documents I'm planning to hae for all the Ben Eater videos.  Some of tese heading could all be in one doc... or multiple, I'm open to suggestions, but I think if we can limit the number of separate docs, it will be easier for your students to navigate and find the information.

For Each Video:
  • Video Time Line break out Doc - This will take each video and high light the moments where key information is being presented.  The goal is not to just point to answers for any quizes we may have, but rather be a reference / Table of Content for what is in the video.
  • "As You Watch" question prompt Doc - This doc will have questions hat the student should read and keep present when they are watching the video.  The goal is that if they are thinking about a few key questions, they will retain more.  I think this doc should ask the student to be able to, in 3-4 sentences describe the key purpose of the video, and be able to answer 3-4 key questions, and then have a list of 10-20 additional questions that could show up on a unit quiz.
    • with this, we should create some quizes, as Goggle quiz and hand out formats
  • Detailed Build Guide Doc - this is a step by step, with close up pictures of the build.  The goal of this is that while you might have student who can work ahead self paced, you will have other that you need to walk through detailed step by step.  This doc's primary purpose is to make sure students don't miss key build steps, and can be successful completing the section build.
  • Tips and Tricks - Maybe something to cover additional tips and tricks... Though, realistically this probably should be in the Detailed Guide.
  • Unit/Module slide presentation - This would be a separate doc (google slides) that could be used to introduce or support a module, and would typically be presented by the teacher.  Each slide set should eventually have complete speaker notes, so they can stand on their own, and also so that a new teacher has all the information and background to present the lecture.  While I have seen some great presentations, if they don't have the speaker notes, it's hard to reteach it later.
  • Teaching Guide - A how to on teaching this section , including a lesson plan
  •  
What Other Docs do we need that will accompany each video?  <-- at to the comments below...
