Blog 3 Professional Development Midpoint Review

As of today, I have completed 76 hours of instructional hours to date. Due to work computer issues had to wait until October 9, 2017, to resume my quest of recording the databases related to fingerprints. I have learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to computers because you never know when the system will malfunction! However, learned to work around adverse situations by communicating with the subject matter expert on the material she wanted to include in the video training for her students. Concluded not to film the entire work office for privacy-related issues and stick to the lesson plan on A.F.I.X. and A.F.I.S only to eliminate any confusion. In deciding how to present the videos, concluded still shots were not as effective as watching the process in action. So, removed the still shots and recorded the simulation live to upload to the video presentation. Students can virtually see how the process works and see in real time what it takes to examine fingerprints. The process is very tedious when working with limited equipment to record the information needed to present in the video. Took some time to replay and redo videos that did not quite show the entire process accurately.  Furthermore, wanted to assess the students’ knowledge through video quizzes within the presentation. I thought this would keep the students focused on watching the video and provided the students a great chance to reflect throughout the video presentation Secondly, creating the evaluation form was fun because I could use google forms to embed the questions about the training. I have submitted to the practicum supervisor the questions I wish to use the video training video. Overall to date, still needing to record the A.F.I.S system and present to the subject matter expert the presentation for final review to make any other edits or additions. I look forward to the student’s feedback on the video project to learn the needs of the students and assessment of the learning material. ​
