- 8. Be Like Us! TechnologyIntegrationOpportunities Involving students in the video assessment process promotes media literacy. Manyof these skills must be explicitly taught before conducting assessments. Students can learn and enhance the meaningful andtransferrable skills of recording, editing, &saving, sharing, critiquing,and uploading videos Feedback andreflections (for both peers andpersonal reflection) can be shared in multiple forms: written, voice-to-text, verbal, submitted on ablog, etc. Canupload videos toblog for use as an online portfolio–this is useful for students creating a sports portfolio,but is a powerful idea forany subject in anygrade!
