Responsibilities For 21st Century Media
Be Proactive...
Agreements for being outside the classroom..
- We agree to charge batteries when we use them, put equipment back when finished and finish before deadlines.
- Work to make your projects better if you have extra time or get feedback from someone.
- Use original or COPYRIGHT FREE photos and video.
- Make sure to keep COPPA and school policies in mind (Only use FIRST names of people under 18).
- Make sure all that you create is kind.
- We will keep all equipment with us at all times (not leave it in the hallway).
- We will be back in the classroom with all equipment put away by 2:20
- Begin With the End in Mind...
- We will think about what we want our media to look like and plan and script and make shot-lists BEFORE we start filming, editing or interviewing.
- Since we know what we are doing BEFORE we do it, we will quickly, get done what needs to be done, and get back to class immediately when finished. No wandering halls or hanging out in classrooms.
- Before “Making things cooler” or looking for photos or interviewing, we will get the basics finished. That way, if there is time left over, we can ‘play’ with different ideas while still meeting our deadline.
- If you finish early, you can always work on blogging, vlogging, podcasting or something new, but you must finish all assignments by the deadline before doing any extra.
- No video games unless permission is given
- Phones can only be used if you ask for permission (being on your phone is different than using it as a tool for learning)
- If we have nothing to do, we will independently work on blogs or plan for a future script or research for a future story and not disrupt the production of others.
- When making decisions, we will vote with fist to five, anything under three will get to voice their opinions. When the will of the group is evident, we agree to go with the flow and help make things work, even if our idea isn’t chosen.
- Compromise
- Seek First to Understand...
- We agree to listen more than we talk. When interviewing, we agree to listen and report all sides of issues equally without bias as best as possible.
- We agree to listen to our group members and try to understand by repeating what we think they are saying before trying to get our points across.
- We will work together as a team and hold each other to these norms.
- If things break, we agree to be honest and tell Mrs. Bean immediately.
- We agree to treat people and equipment with the utmost respect.
- Work independently when needed
- Sharpen the Saw...
- Take time out to learn something new or take a break. Deadlines can be stressful, but stress hinders production. Sometimes it’s better to take a five minute break and then work really hard. You may take a break without getting other people off task. This could include but is not limited to: coloring, writing, searching for ideas, getting a drink, sitting quietly, reading...other (see Mrs. Bean to approve).
Agreements for being outside the classroom..
- Respect each other and anyone else using the space
- Stay focused on the task at hand
- Use appropriate volume for playing and talking
- Respect the “stuff” (a.k.a. property, i.e. chairs, stands, instruments, etc.) – treat it kindly and gently
- Leave the space AT LEAST as neat and orderly as it was when you arrived, if not more so (in other words, put it back the way you found it or better)
