14. Multimedia for Learning and Assessment: Education PLC Project Design Five elementary, Spanish-Speaking Youngsters have been selected to design and produce a DVD that “tells the story” of their school, their classrooms, and their academic work. This DVD will serve as a “Back to School Night” substitute for parents who have a hard time getting to parent conferences. Youngsters, with assistance provided by the teacher- researcher and Otterbein students in an educational technology class, will produce the DVD. In order to gauge the effectiveness of the DVD, parents will be asked to complete a brief survey after viewing the DVD.

15. Multimedia for Learning and Assessment: Education PLC Benefits The DVD gives English Language Learners “permission” to use their native language as well as their new English skills, to let their creative juices flow, and to work on an authentic task. The DVD is an outreach mechanism to immigrant parents. Not only can they orient themselves to their children’s school but they also get the message that school personnel “care.”
