Back in October, I was fortunate to attend the Exemplars' Fall Institute where I learned about their resource "Problem Solving for the Common Core. I was so impressed with this resource that I proposed that our district purchase it for our teachers as we strive to fully implement the Common Core shifts.
In January, our teachers received access to this resource. I am excited to have our teachers begin using the problem solving tasks and assessment rubrics; however, finding time to introduce the Exemplars Library to them has been challenging as we are a district made of of three schools each in a different town as well as not being in school much these days due to the numerous snow days.
After having my latest attempt to present this resource to teachers interrupted yet again by the snow, my district's Instructional Technologist suggested that I create an online tutorial that teachers could watch as part of their professional learning. With my new knowledge of how to use Screencast-O-Matic (see previous post), I realized that this was something that I could take a stab at.
I was able to create an online tutorial showing teachers how to assess this resource. My only challenge was the 15 minute time limit constraint with Screencast-O-Matic, so I ended up making a part 1 video and a part 2 video.
I am not able to publicly link the Part 1 video because there is sensitive log in information that cannot be shared. (RSD6 teachers, please email me for the Part 1 link.) The following is the link for the video for Part 2.
