What is that Media Development Team Doing Now?

In mid-February, the Media Development team, including the Curriculum Coordinator, Carey Hilgartner, the Media Development Lead, Deanna Jager, and myself, the Media Development Assistant, decided it was time to do a mini project.  The purpose of the project was to create a PowerPoint and video that could support instruction in Math Foundations and Essential Math and give me an orientation to project development.

Following our process for project development, but on a smaller scale, I met with Glenna Besse to review existing Essential math materials and to do a needs analysis.  Glenna has done an incredible amount of work creating PowerPoints for Essential Math and her guidance was an enormous help.  Thank you Glenna.  After meeting with Glenna, and deciding to create a PowerPoint on whole numbers, I brainstormed and played and made mistakes and brainstormed some more.  The goal was to create a PowerPoint and video that was engaging, relevant, and instructional.  The result can be seen on our YouTube channel:

As we develop projects, we learn what works and what we can improve. Your reviews and feedback are part of this process and help us create better media in the future.  Interested in what the Media Development team is doing now?
