528 CANCELED Making Geoscience Animations and Videos and Assessing Them in the Classroom.
Developing more and better animations of fundamental Earth processes should be a priority, not only because animations generally aid learning but also because the students now moving through our educational system are the most visually stimulated generation that we have ever taught. These students have high expectations and are mostly disappointed by what our science has to offer. Geoscientific information and processes are very amenable to treatment using videos and animations, but not enough are being made or assessed in the classroom. This workshop is designed to engage interested geoscientists to make and assess their own geoscience videos and animations. The workshop will stress the importance of identifying target audiences, identifying a suitable topic and carrying out research on it, generating storyboards and narrations, making and editing videos and animations, and the importance of sound, dissemination, and assessment. These elements are outlined in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=k2LYe9DqGx0. Low-budget, short (1–10 minute hybrid video/animations) will be emphasized. We plan to make a video during this workshop, maybe something along the lines of what we did at last year’s Annual Meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMrecGkk4tk
