    Part 1. iMovie App Tutorial for Teachers

    Goal Statement

    After 1.5 hours of instruction, elementary teachers will be able to create a one minute video

    project using the app iMovie on the iPad, while also making use of iMovies editing features.

    Audience Description

    The learners for this instructional design project are elementary teachers at East Helena Public

    Schools in East Helena, MT. There are nearly eighty teachers in the district, including both

    classroom and specialty teachers. The district has just over 1,000 students. These adult learners

    are currently in the midst of a 1:1 iPad rollout for their students. Grades 3, 4, 6, and 7 will be 1:1

    in the coming months. Grades K, 1, 2, 5, and 8 will follow in the coming years.

    Rationale

    iMovie was the movie-making app chosen to be purchased and placed on all student and teacher

    iPads. While all learners have been required to take at least a half day training on basic iPad use,

    there is little control over whether teachers choose to delve deep into the use of specific apps.

    There is a need for instruction regarding the use of specific apps, iMovie being one of the most

    requested ones by teachers.

    Movie making, while not relatively new in the classroom world, becomes accessible to all

    learners at East Helena Public Schools due to the introduction of iPads. Prior to iPads, student

    computers and laptops had limited movie making software, as well as limited accessibility to

    video cameras. The iPads at East Helena Public Schools have two video cameras, as well as

    iMovie, already installed.

    Movie-making benefits students in many ways. Retention and a deeper understanding of content

    is revealed through movie making. Additionally, the skills of speaking, writing, and listening are

    heavily involved with movie making, as well as with the new Common Core ELA Standards.

    Teachers would benefit from instruction regarding the use of iMovie on the iPad so they would

    feel better equipped to instruct their students on the features of iMovie, thus allowing students to

    then create movie projects across all parts of the curriculum.

    Part 2 Analysis Report

    Needs Assessment Survey

    In order to collect the data necessary to conduct a needs assessment, I created an

    online with Google Docs and made available this link to participants: Google

    Form Survey

    The survey was made up of 14 questions and collected information ranging age to comfort levels

    with specific uses of the iPad. The survey also included questions regarding iMovie use. The

    survey took approximately three minutes to complete.

  • 3

    Twenty-one participants started and completed the survey. Appendix A contains screenshots of

    the survey questions.

    Needs Assessment Data

    The following link provides a detailed response summary, including graphs of the responses,

    generated by Google Docs. Summary Report

    Appendix B contains the data from the Needs Assessment Survey. A summary of the findings is

    presented in this section. The Needs Assessment Survey yielded 21 total responses. The survey

    indicated that themajority of the learners ages fall between 25 and 60. The needs analysis data indicated that the learners mostly include those who will not be in a 1:1 environment. Learners

    indicated several different levels of comfort with the iPad; data ranged fairly evenly from a low

    comfort level to a high comfort level. The learners indicated they were very comfortable using

    the camera features of the iPad. The survey did indicate, however, that the majority of learners

    had 10 or fewer hours of iPad training, and very little experience with the app iMovie and its

    features. Learners had little experience in creating trailers or projects in iMovie but indicated

    high interest toward learning about the specific features of making an iMovie project. The most

    popular feature that learners wanted to learn about was how to create a project, with sound

    effects being second. Learners wanted

    least to learn how to make an iMovie

    trailer.

    Learners also gave typed in feedback

    regarding their thoughts on how they

    might use iMovie in the classroom and

    the possible benefits of using iMovie with

    their students. Learners only expressed a

    few ideas with how to use iMovie on the

    classroom, but had many possible benefits

    listed in comparison. The needs

    assessment also asked learners what their

    preferred way to learn was from four

    choices; direct instruction, from peers,

    self-directed, or other. Most of the learners indicated they enjoyed learning from peers or self-

    directed.

    Learner Needs and Characteristics

    The learners are all teachers in an elementary K-8 district in East Helena, MT. The learners

    mostly fall between the ages of 25-60. The learners all have a minimum of a bachelors degree, and many have a masters degree. The learners have a wide range of experience levels with using the iPad. All learners have had at least one district provided iPad training. The learners all have

    a school assigned iPad. The learners also had varying comfort levels with using iPads and with

    using the video features of the iPad, ranging from low to high on a scale of 1 to 10. Learners

    indicated an interest to learning how to use the iMovie app through their descriptions of the

    possible benefits. The learners variety of ways they enjoyed learning will need to be taken into

  • 4

    consideration. The majority of learners surveyed said they would like to learn from their peers,

    while some indicated they would like to self-direct their learning.

    Because of the range of prior knowledge with iPads, additional assistance will need to be given

    to those who require further explanation with certain iPad features and procedures.

    Learning Context Description

    The survey helped determine that the instruction should take place in a computer lab in East

    Helena Public Schools, where the learners could have synchronous access to a cart of iPads with

    iMovie if needed. The survey indicated learners were highly interested in learning from their

    peers. This location also allows for the learners to have internet access via the wireless network.

    The computer lab has forty Windows computers, as well as a projector and Apple TV. The

    learners will be provided with both written and online tutorials for the features of the iMovie

    app.

    Transfer Context

    Teachers will be transferring the learned skills and procedures through immediate application

    and sharing of ideas with peers. Learners will also be provided with practice time during the

    instruction, and will be able to self-evaluate when comparing and sharing projects with peers.

    Learners will also transfer their learned skills when they instruct their classrooms of students on

    how to use the app iMovie. The students will apply their learned skills through classroom

    projects across all aspects of the curriculum. Examples of possible ways to use iMovie in the

    classroom is through informational presentations, character education building, commercial or

    advertisement creation, information news reports, and movie style book reports.

    Part 3: Planning

    Rationale: The overall approach in terms of strategies will be supplantive. The learners will

    require higher amounts of scaffolding with the various components of iMovie, as the majority of

    learners indicated they had relatively little to no experience with iMovie. However, toward the

    end of instruction, strategies will switch to generative, allowing learners to use their newfound

    knowledge to create iMovie projects. Thus, approximately 85% of instructional time will be

    supplantive, while 15% will be generative.

    Creating a course for teachers regarding the instruction of the iMovie app meets a critical

    professional development need for teachers incorporating iPads into their districts. Movie

    making benefits students in several ways. Greater retention and a more thorough understanding

    of content is shown through movie making. Speaking, writing, and listening skills are highly

    used with movie making, as well as with the new Common Core ELA Standards. Teachers

    would benefit from instruction regarding the use of iMovie on the iPad so they would feel better

    prepared to instruct their students on the components of iMovie. They can then later allow

    students create movie projects across all parts of the curriculum.

    The majority of instruction will follow an instructivist approach. The initial instruction will be

    highly structured, with demonstrations of iMovie components followed by learner practice, and

    then a quick performance assessment by the instructor regarding the component. Learning

    outcomes will be communicated clearly prior to instruction. When learners have completed

    instruction regarding the components of iMovie, the approach will turn constructivist. Learners

    will create iMovie projects, using the components taught in the instructivist approach. Learners

    will share ideas and learn from others projects to improve their own.

    Part 3a: List of Learning Objectives

    Show examples of iMovies created by students.

    Inquiry Arousal

    Ask learners what to brainstorm ways theyd like to incorporate movie making into their classrooms.

    Ask learners to consider what special steps or components they believe are necessary

    for movie making with the iPad.

    Variability

    Remind learners that movie making is a flexible process and after they learn the steps

    to movie making, theyll be able to create movies at their own pace.

    Relevance

    Goal Orientation

    Learners will be informed that they will be learning how to use the app iMovie to

    record, edit, and create movies, so that they can instruct their students on how to do so.

    Motive Matching

    Based on needs assessments, students are interested in a combination of instructor led

    instruction as well as peer-to-peer instruction.

  • 9

    Tell students the instruction begins with the instructor leading learners through

    demonstrations of the various steps of using iMovie. The instruction ends with sharing

    of ideas and movies.

    Familiarity

    The instructor will use the iPad to demonstrate the app iMovie, and learners will

    already have basic functional familiarity with the iPad.

    The instructor can ask learners how they have used other movie making methods in the

    classroom.

    Confidence

    Learning Requirements

    Learning tasks will be chunked to avoid learner overload.

    Success Opportunities

    Allow students to sufficient time to practice each new component of iMovie.

    Feedback and suggestions will be given throughout instruction.

    Personal Control

    The instructor will provide the learners will video choice throughout the editing

    process. After the components of iMovie are taught, the learner will have control on

    how to apply these components to their own video.

    Satisfaction

    Natural Consequences

    As a result of completing instruction, learners will understand the many components of

    iMovie and have the knowledge necessary to teach it to students and use it in the

    classroom.

    Positive Consequences

    The instructor will provide meaningful feedback throughout instruction. The learners

    can also provide each other with meaningful feedback when sharing of projects occurs.

    Equity

    Students will be shown step by step the various components of the iMovie app.

    Feedback will be given regarding the use of iMovies features, rather than the content of the video itself.

    Part 4: Instructor Guide for iMovie on the iPad for Teachers

    The instructors guide consists of screenshots and simple instructions for teaching each of the objectives and their sub-objectives. The instructors guide is posted online at

    https://sites.google.com/site/imovieontheipad/learnersguideimovie.

    Part 5: Learner Content

    5a: Learning Materials

    Should the learners require learning materials in addition to the instructors demonstrations, an instructional guide similar to the instructors is provided via a website. The instructional guide is available at this website: https://sites.google.com/site/imovieontheipad/home

    Part 5b: Formative and/or Summative Assessment Materials

    The performance assessment will be ongoing throughout the instruction. The instructor will

    provide guidance and ideas for improvement along the way.

    The learners will engage in self-assessment of their iMovie projects as they share their projects

    with others. There are no formal assessment materials for this course.

    Learners can partake in an exit survey to assess the effectiveness of the course.

    The survey is available here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Z-

    Part 5c: Technology Tool Rationale

    The following technology tools will be used to support the learning project:

    Technology

    Tool

    Rationale

    iPad (iOS 7) This piece of technology was selected due to its newfound and fairly

    common presence in schools.

    iMovie app This app was selected because of its user friendly, simple interface. The

    iMovie app also produces quality videos.

    Google Forms Google forms were used to collect data due to the ease of making them

    available to learners, and also due to the option of making data available

    immediately.

    Projector with

    HDMI input

    A classroom or compute lab projector allows the use to connect via Apple

    TV (and an HDMI cable) with their iPads. This allows them to project the

  • 11

    iMovie app and give demonstrations.

    Part 6. Evaluation

    As mentioned in Part 5b- Formative/Summative Evaluation Materials, there are no formal

    assessments given for this instructional design project. However, considering that instructional

    design starts with the end in mind, evaluative measures using Kirkpatricks Four Level Evaluation model can be applied to this project to gauge learners understanding.

    Kirkpatricks Four Level Evaluation Model

    Level I- Learner Reaction

    Questions asked: Did the instruction meet your needs? Was it easy to follow and understand?

    Were you able to create a 1 minute iMovie with little assistance?

    Tools needed: Google Form evaluative survey available at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Z-

    4favjEXiWqwwIQe2n_jtaE4S258QuieTZw1TbZHA/viewform

    Description: These questions can be asked orally, or feedback can be given via a Google form or

    paper/pencil methods.

    Level 2- Learning

    Questions asked: Learners will be asked to assess their learning gains made in regards to each

    objective.

    Tools needed: Google Form evaluative survey available at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/18Z-

    4favjEXiWqwwIQe2n_jtaE4S258QuieTZw1TbZHA/viewform

    Description: Give learners the URL to evaluate the course and learning gains. The URL is also

    available in the learners guide website, on the left hand menu.

    Level 3- Behavior

    Questions asked: Have you used iMovie personally yet? Having you used iMovie with students

    yet? How have you used it?

    Tools needed: Google Form Follow Up Survey

    https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1TAVqgOcXtxPGECY6yLUmTYa6bVb25K0qFwy3MdfdEyg/

    viewform

    Description: These questions can be asked a few weeks the instruction has finished, seeing if

    learners have transferred their learning. These questions can be sent via email, and assessed

    through a Google form URL. These results will determine if a follow up training needs to take

    place.

    Level 4- Results

    Questions asked: Once transferred to the students, did the instruction (movie making) have an

    impact on students learning? Tools needed: Dependent upon learners needs and survey results from Level 3. A synchronous, face to face sharing session could be scheduled. An asynchronous, learning forum share could be

    scheduled via the districts LMS, My Big Campus. A student survey could be distributed via a Google Form URL.

    Description: This question evaluates the long term impact, organizational impact of the

  • 12

    instruction on learners, and subsequently, students. A roundtable discussion would be an ideal

    format to share thoughts, as well as through a sharing forum online. Another possibility would be

    to survey the students on their thoughts regarding movie making in school and using the app

    iMovie. The instructor will need to determine the best possible way to evaluate Level 4- Results,

    which will also be based on the Level 3- Behavior survey results as well.

    Part 7. Subject Matter Expert (SME) Review

    The Subject Matter Expert who agreed to evaluate the Instructional Design for the iMovie on the

    iPad for Teachers project is Jeanette Winslow, a technology coordinator at East Helena Public

    Schools. Mrs. Winslow has many years of experience as a technology coordinator, as well as

    experience with instructing teachers on how to use new technologies. The instructors guide and learners guide were made available to her. The eight question evaluation survey was created in Google Docs and made available to Jeanette the week of November 25

    th, 2013. Mrs. Winslow

    completed the survey on December 2nd

    , 2013. We met December 3rd

    , 2013, to discuss the survey

    and materials more in depth, as well as her responses.

    8. Evaluation Survey/Rubric

    The purpose of this project is to develop an instructional unit to teach iMovie on the iPad to

    teachers. Teachers will then have the skills to teach iMovie to students, thus giving students the

    ability to use iMovie in various educational ways.

    Project Goal: After 1.5 hours of instruction, elementary teachers will be able to create a one

    minute video project using the app iMovie on the iPad, while also making use of iMovies editing features.

    Please evaluate the following instructional materials prepared by Marne Bender. These

    materials support the instruction and learners.

    List of materials:

    Instructor Guide set of instructions to be used by the instructor. Learner Guide- set of screenshots and directions to be used by the

    Thank you for taking the time to review the materials and give feedback!

    Survey Questions:

    1.) Does the learners' guide appear accurate for the learners (teachers)? 2.) Is the learner guide appropriate for the learners (teachers)? 3.) Will the learners' guide support the learners effectively in achieving the overall

    goal?

    4.) Is the instructor's guide easy to follow? 5.) Does the technology used support the overall goal and objectives?

  • 13

    6.) Will the instructor's guide assist the instructor in leading the learners through successful completion of the course?

    7.) Are the objectives presented in a logical order? 8.) Are there any other issues, comments or suggestions you wish to make about the

    materials used?

    The evaluation survey given to the SME was made in Google Docs, via a Google form. The

    survey can be accessed at the following web address.

    9. Report of Expert Review

    My SME, Jeanette Winslow, a technology coordinator from my district, gave me great feedback

    on each question of my survey. The discussion is broken down by each question.

    Question 1 After reviewing the learners guide, made available online, Jeanette rated its accuracy as yes. Mrs. Winslow thought directions were easy to understand, but said the guide would benefit from

    screenshots or instructional videos.

    Question 2 Mrs. Winslow said yes for the appropriate nature of the learners guide. She said it seemed appropriate for adult learners.

    Question 3

    Jeanette answered this question with a yes, that the learners guide will help learners achieve the overall goal. She pondered the idea of adding how to do the iMovie trailers as well.

    Question 4

    Jeanette answered this question with a mostly. She felt that including a link to the next objective on the prior objective would create a better flow. She also expressed concern with the

    lack of screenshots to provide guidance for the instructor. She also though demonstration videos

    would clarify exactly how to perform the objectives further.

    Question 5

    Mrs. Winslow answered this with a yes. The technology included is appropriate and will help learners achieve their learning goals. She thought that clarifying whether or not participants

    would be provided a free app code of iMovie or would use the school iPads with iMovie already

    installed would be helpful.

    Question 6

    This question was answered with a mostly. Jeanette said the addition of screenshots would tremendously help the instructor in completing the project. She said taking the instructors background knowledge, or lack thereof, should guide the instructors guide a bit better. Question 7

    Mrs. Winslow answered this question with yes. She felt the objectives scaffolded appropriately and followed a logical order. She wondered if some of the objectives were too large and if they

    possibly need to be broken down into more objectives, rather than a series of sub objectives.

    Question 8

  • 14

    Jeanette emphasized that including screenshots or demonstration videos for the instructor as key

    to aiding in their understanding. She thought this course would be excellent for the district as it

    would meet a key need with teachers in the district at this time. She was curious about

    assessment and whether or not any checking in would be done with the teachers further down the

    road.

    10. Comments on Suggestions

    Based on the survey results and feedback from my SME, the most work needs to be done with

    the learners and instructors guides. My SME commented on how it wasnt the easiest to follow. To address that, I will add additional links to each objective, linking it to the previous objective

    and next objective. The addition of screenshots was also discussed. I am in the process of

    creating these screenshots so they will be added to the final instructors guide. The need for visual and text paired in the instructors guide will aid in comprehension of the materials. I also plan on making sure instructional text match the screenshots and are in close

    proximity. My SME also was concerned with how the instructors background knowledge would be addressed in the instructors guide. With this concern in hand, I plan on having a few peers from a variety technological backgrounds review the instructors guide and give feedback on improvements as well.

    11. Reflective Synthesis Paper

    Initially with this course, I thought instructional design would be much like my current

    career choice of teaching. Upon hearing the phrase instructional design I immediately thought, Lesson planning! I can do this! Little did I know how different instructional design would be from lesson planning.

    Instructional design differs in the sense that it creates a learning environment that provides the

    learners with the necessary materials and setting for learning experiences. Instructional design is

    based in research based learning theories and can take on a variety of pedagogical approaches.

    Instructional design is a lot like fly fishing, one of my favorite hobbies to take on when I

    have a break from teaching. Instructional design follows the flowing, iterative ADDIE model,

    starting with analysis. What are the needs, overall learning goals, and learners characteristics? When fly fishing, one must prepare and analyze considerably before just heading out. What flies

    will be necessary for the body of water youre intending to fish? Are there any constraints, such as weather and the time of year to consider? Research at fly shops, through the internet, and

    examination of previous fishing trip journal entries will need to be examined, which leads to

    design. In instructional design, considerations toward learning outcomes and delivery of

    instruction are done. With fly fishing, one will need to determine prior to fishing how the fly will

    be delivered, either via a dry fly or nymph form. The development phase has to do with

    developing tools, using materials, and developing a prototype for instruction. This is the phase of

    fly fishing that is so much like instructional design; the fly fisher must prepare the tools, put into

    play the chosen design (fly), and test the design to see whether or not theyll be successful. The iterative, free flowing design of ADDIE works well with fly fishing because fly fishermen must

    change and reevaluate whether or not the fishing is successful. This phase smoothly moves into

    the next phase, implementation. Through testing, and collecting feedback, instructional designers

    and fishermen are able to determine which design specifications work best for the current design,

    or river, in the fly fishermens case. Feedback for fishermen can be delivered from the fish (or lack thereof!) or from peers who join along on the fishing trip. The last phase of ADDIE,

    evaluation, uses feedback, continuous analysis, revisions, and summative evaluation to determine

    the success of the instructional design. With fly fishing, a successful day is determined through

    reflection, analysis, feedback-typically provided through concrete

    Part #1 of my project was based on the beginnings of the ADDIE model (Larson and

    Lockee, 2013). This model provided the framework for my instructional design project. It helps

    keep the designed organized and complete. Part #1 focused on the learners needs and the

    learning context.

    Part #2 of my project really got interesting and challenging for me. It was difficult to step

    back from the teacher role and put together a product that will be used by other teachers. It

    opened my eyes to all the details that go into designing instruction. I appreciated going through

    the process and despite the complications and frustrations, it really helped me think about all of

    the components of instructional design and how important even the little things are.

    While instructional design has its similarities to lesson planning, the differences I learned

    throughout this course really opened my eyes to how large of a field instructional design is. As

    for my teaching career, it will benefit in many ways from this course. I plan on creating some

    project-based learning modules using design processes based in instructional design. Id like to spend more time on the evaluation section to make sure I am creating the best instructional

    product for my students. While I plan on applying many instructional design tenets to my

    classroom, I also plan on using my instructional design project with adult learners through

    teacher pupil related instruction (PIR) days. Ive really enjoyed teaching adult learners how to use technology and have pondered making a slight career change. Instructional design would

    play in largely in designing workshops and sessions for adult learners!
