The classroom activity is involving students in creating a yearbook and presentations using a digital camera (in 1999, this is a very big deal). They're putting together collages like one would see on a yearbook page for a group, club, or sports team. This video resembles the other ones in how much of the time is devoted to showing how the teacher interacts with the students and the software rather than a voiceover narrating everything, which is useful. I guess the content of her instruction reflects the time, as the students' computer skills are less than proficient by today's standards... but the teacher does give good instructions and clear expectations about what the finished product should be. Crispy!

Economic Experience Video

The students in the video are using a multitude of media technology applications to explore an economic simulation based on the concepts of supply and demand. The learning activity includes running simulations, designing websites, analyzing data, problem solving, and publishing results. The instructor is doing a good job in making sure the students are well involved in their own mock company's decisions. The narrator is stating how the teacher is meeting technolgy instruction requirements which is important for him to be able to show progress and show that meaningful media experiences are a part of the students' curriculum. I liked the fact that much of the video was devoted to showing the actual classroom and the students' responses to prompts rather than just discussing what was happening.
