Teacher Products
Misconception video- Make short video interviewing people to ask them a question related to the science topic that usually has misconceptions related to it. For example, asking people why we have seasons. Students would view the video to assess their knowledge of the topic and identify the misconceptions that people may have.
Video/Digital Picture Review- during a unit of study, the teacher would take digital pictures and video as students complete labs and projects. The video can be shown as a review at the end of the unit, dicuss what each lab/project was "teaching" and could be used to assess student knowledge (like with a KWL chart).
Podcast of "Breaking News"- make a podcast that students would watch and listen to as breaking news about a "crime" that was committed at the school as an introduction to the crime scene investigation that the students will complete to catch the criminal.

Using Podcasts- students could listen to podcast science news stories instead of reading the story in a magazine or online to complete current event assignments.
Video- make video to discuss their science fair projects- go through steps of scientific method, show work in action (if possible). This can be viewed by the teacher to determine if work was actually complete by student, if they understand their project, and can discuss it.
Journal- open class with students listening to 60 Second Science podcast and then journaling about the topic for that day.

The misconception video would be a gas for students to "critique!" Even having students interview their peers or parents about such questions might be fun - make sure no one interviews school board members!
The review video is a good one too, but I'd like to hear more about the "breaking news" idea. Definitely has potential.
It will be interesting to see if students like listening to the podcast more than reading a "science" story. If you could think of a "context" for their listening and then "producing something" from it - that would be cool. We'll have to talk with Rob b/c he's good with ideas like that.
I bet they will like the 60-sec podcast too. Is this something they could eventually produce for "next year?"
Good stuff, for sure!!
