Brainstorm Opportunity – CTE Looking for questions not answers
As we continue to refine our inquiry, we would love some input on coming up with inquiry questions.
The broad category is what role or impact does the programmatic design of a learning community have on student engagement and success?
Programmatic Design –
Does English and math support the CTE courses or do the CTE courses support English and Math?
What role does teacher involvement in program requirements play in the success of the faculty engagement?
How can a program help support faculty in talking openly and safely about teaching style and content choices? Does formal or informal interaction play a part? Does the facilitator matter and what role does the facilitator play?
Please share any examples, experiences or questions that you think might apply to this topic.

Making Sub Clips: A vital step in doing Video Inquiry
This tutorial is to be done only after you have captured footage. Here is the link for the tutorial on how to capture footage.
http://fincommons.net/2009/04/10/capturing-your-video-footage-into-final-cut-express/
If we use the analogy of doing a research paper, we can recall all those books and journals and Xeroxed essays sitting on our desk. Long before we were ready to actually write the paper, we had to go through all this raw material, think about what we were reading, and then find some way to keep track of the bits that we find important so that we could incorporate them when it came time to write the paper. We would annotate, use post-its, etc.
What this tutorial aims to do is give you a technique for keeping track of all the many individual moments that you are bound to have in a video clip that can run as long as 60 minutes if you filled up an entire tape. In FCE the way to track and name your raw footage is to use the “Make Subclips” feature, and it is really quite simple. Let’s do this! Read the rest of this entry »
LPC–Talking to Our Students
April has seen our video team (Mass. Comm. students, aided by team member Michelle Gonzales and Mass. Comm. instructor Jin Tsubota) jumping into student interviews and filming. May has added on our English basic skills student co-inquirers, who are recording oral interviews with students currently in the basic skills program. I have uploaded our questions to the media library so that you all can poach them–it has been *so* valuable to hear what our students have to say to student interviewers! Finally, our counselor team member, Nancy Wright, has been calling students who have dropped and asking them a series of questions. A few of the students she called walked right over to her office and got some very valuable help! She wishes she could make a personal connection with every student. I have uploaded Nancy’s questions to the media library as well. All questions were drafted with the help of our student co-inquirers and the two student filmmakers.
Berkeley City College Preview: Unity
Hi folks,
I showed Sean this video last week, and he was going to post it on the commons for all to see, but I’m tooling around and decided to do it myself. It’s a video shot by our student team videographer before even getting started on this project, and it’s what convinced me that he could pull off the project we’re working on.
We’ll have some tape up soon!
