In all of my classes, I assign a number of in-class exercises throughout the semester. Students are required to complete these in class under my supervision, or else they do not receive credit for the assignment. In-class exercises are an integral part of my “flipped classroom” approach and provide the students with lots of hands-on opportunities with the concepts.
Below are the in-class exercises I typically assigned to my Digital Media classes at Georgia Gwinnett College.
- Icebreaker & Classroom Tech
- Affordances
- Inkscape & GIMP
- Numbering Systems
- Digital Image Hardware
- Audacity
- Digital Audio Calculations
- iMovie & Windows Movie Maker – Students are instructed to choose one version of this assignment out of the three offered.
- Digital Video Calculations & Hardware
- Blender
- Ethics in Digital Media
