When Janel and I first met up to brainstorm we each brought some interesting ideas to the table. I was very interested in replacing some of the written text in language classes with video. I believe for many reasons video is much more captivating and interesting than reading text. I believe both mediums have their place but I feel that in order to add variety to the lesson, students should be introduced to a number of different outlets to absorb language lessons.  Janel was very interested in critically analyzing full length films and also using film as a tool for assessment.

During this meeting we decided we should not create a video ourselves, but instead create a slide show that would present information pertaining to ways in which ourselves and our classmates could incorporate video into their teaching practice. We created a new plan. I would would assess how video is currently being used and Janel would look at projections for how it would be used in the future. We began looking a resources and paying close attention to class discussions that involved video.
