Title: Brain Neuroscience – Dopamine opens the doors
Recipe Labs: stress, boredom, confusion, low motivation, and anxiety can interfere with learning. Sensory input is blocked from entering the cortical areas of memory storage that lie beyond the amygdala
Inquiry Labs: Frontal lobe involvement
Neuronal circuits going from the limbic system (emotional center) into the frontal lobe and other parts of the brain are rich in dopamine receptors that are activated by this dopamine release (Nader et al. 2002).
Many of the strategies teachers use to engage students in learning have been demonstrated to activate this dopamine release (Wunderlich et al. 2005)

Marlene: This is a good start on the storyboards and script. I note you are proposing a number of stills. The beauty of video is that you can use full motion video. The more variety the better.
ReplyDeleteSecond, you are introducing an expert in science inquiry in DE. Therefore you need to introduce him and a brief background.
Finally, when you submit the final versions I would ask that you put it all together in one file. Reading individual files makes it difficult to follow the flow of your ideas.
Cheers, Roger
Hello Dr P
ReplyDeleteIs the person I am introducing fictitious or should we find a real expert in the field, research their background, and present them for real? How do you suggest we video this part of the presentation - should we do it like a vodcast of me introducing them, or show a real person or a photo of the real person while introducing their background?
Also, are you asking for the final video to be in one file or are you asking me to put the storyboard together in one package? I had trouble posting the power point as a package on this blog - maybe a Diigo account would have worked better?
Thanks for your input - I will try to make this more of a motion video and less stills.
Hello Marlene,
ReplyDeleteIt appears that you have a great start; however, I am not sure that you will have enough time to present all this. Are you going to condense your information into a video? Keep in mind that we only have 5-6 minitues. In addition, are you actually going to summarize each article and place a portion of it in your video? Briefly explain how you are going to do it?

Hello Michelle,
ReplyDeleteI will have a better idea after this weekend. Not sure because this is my first video. I have made a podcast for a Walden class in the past and that is the extend of my abilities at this point. I always plan twice what I need and then condense, so that is why it looks overwhelming and unattainable for a 5 min video.
Thanks for your observations.
I had so much trouble with posting the power point slides in a blog. First I snipped each and put them in a photobucket. Then I could not get the hyperlink to work in my blog post. There must be a better way to post the entire power point presentation - I just ran out of ideas.
Do you know?
Hi Marlene,
ReplyDeleteHaving too much information is better than not enough. I guess your challenge will be getting the most salient information into 5-6 minutes. I am also interested in finding out if fictitious is the only option as i was thinking of an actual real life individual... Dr. Powley, could you please clarify? Thank you.
Hi Soraya,
ReplyDeleteDr Powley responded in an email and either is acceptable, fictitious or real. I think he preferred a real person if you have a choice.
Buena suerte!!
Hi Marlene,
ReplyDeleteThis is also my first real video. What I have learned, I am learning as I go along. Trial and error. I just went to the Gadgets section on our Design, and looked for links or to add pictures. I uploaded them all at once. It only takes 2-3 minutes. I am not sure how I am going to get the video uploaded. I guess the closer I get to finishing the project, I will try a few things that I think I can try. Even putting the video together, I am really experimenting. Once I know for sure, I will share this information with our community and class. Thanks again for your comments and support. I hope that I was able to reassure you that we are all experiencing the same or different types of challenges in distance education. :)
Michele
Hi Michelle, I appreciate the details you are offering.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you mean by the "Gagets section on our Design?"
One thing I know from my son is once a video is made in Windows Movie Maker, upload to YouTube and it will be assigned a url; then it can be added as a link to anything.
Hi Marlene,
ReplyDeleteIn our blog, if you were to go to the Design section, You will see a section called Add A Gadget. Double click on this and on your left side you will scroll down to this area.
The Add A Gadget area consists of 25 different items. I hope this will help you.
