As I look back on this course and my goals I realize how general those goals were, and as such it is pretty easy for me to say that I accomplished them. However I will look at each goal and discuss my success with them severally.
Goal 1: I will learn with moderate proficiency to use the editing software Adobe Premire, and be able to teach students to do the same.
I feel that I accomplished this fairly well. While clearly no expert, I feel that I have enough knowledge to use the program and with more experience I will be more expert in the ways. In my experience as a teacher I have found that I learn a subject really well upon teaching it. My hope is to be able to teach this program to others to solidify my knowledge.
Goal 2: I will learn how to use the manual settings on a camera and how to teach that to students.
This I can do so long as the settings haven't been changed to be inaccessible. I feel very confinent in my abilty to white balance, and I have even looked at the settings on my old cameras at home, which I learned had manual settings (both my video and still camera have f-stops, who knew right!?) So, I feel confident in using these settings and controls. I would have no problem teaching it to my students.
Goal 3: I will be develop assignments and assessments that I can use in my classes that will be effective in determining the level of mastery for certain skills.
This I have done. I must say, I look forward to using these assignments in my advanced film class this year. I feel more confident than ever to teach these skills now that I have organized them into assesible chunks. Even without this, my improved knowledge of the camera, composition, pre-production, lighting, sound, and editing will make me a better teacher of my foundational level film course.
