**Evidence 1:** iMovie Art Team Talks - if not running from this link, it is posted on my web page - navigate to 'Art Team' page and scroll down to the second image. In addition, it is on the CD-rom as a movie 'Art Team Talks'.

This lesson was created in Edt 658 Multimedia for my high school Art Team. One of the initiatives our high school is focusing on includes ‘relationship’ building between teachers and students in an attempt to not leave any student without a sense of community in our school. I am a coach for our Art Team, which competes in the WAEA - Visual Arts Classic. I created an iMovie and have it posted on my web site, I use this as a communication tool to reach students who may be interested in the team. The audio portion was created last year on the bus home from state competition and students where ‘psych-d’, having just taken first place in the art history Quiz Bowl competition. Students recorded unscripted messages for future art team members. Later, I edited voice recordings, added a music sound track, and photos of students taken throughout the season.
 * Rationale 1:**

Prior to the Marian program I was not familiar with movie creation software. Now, I can comfortably put together images in a timed sequence of photos to a voice and soundtrack. Originally I created the sound track for the Edt 676 iPod class. During Multimedia class I added one more student interview and photos. I adjusted the Ken Burns effect to travel different ways across photos to add a sense of movement. I feel very confidant with this media and have used it for other nonverbal videos to showcase student artwork; an art metals photo album that I used while introducing students to Art Metals class project.

Of course students that where in the movie thought it was great, I posted the movie first on Facebook and received multiple comments on my ‘wall’, from students and friends. Art team competes in four different categories and it can be somewhat overwhelming for new members, the video’s many messages, said and meant more to them than anything I could say because it was generated by their peers.

I put a lot of time into this presentation and students think it is an awesome video. I think it will be a great marketing tool for new students in art team because sometimes it is more about what is //not// said (at least not by the teacher).
 * 6.K.4 The teacher recognizes the importance of nonverbal, verbal and media communication techniques. **

In an effort to create a rich presentation to engage students, I incorporated many technology tools to create this multimedia movie; digital photo taking, storage and importing techniques, splicing and adding recorded voices, Ken Burns effects, timing, transitions, and layering photos-voices-music.
 * 6.S.5 The teacher knows how to use a variety of media communication tools, including audiovisual aids and computers, to enrich learning opportunities. **

Part of the art history preparation for Art Team was students’ creation of power point presentation to introduce and learn about the assigned artists for art team. Later students burned copies of all the presentation and studied for competition using them. Students took ownership of their work and provided a great way to communicate with each other and proved successful by their top placement in the VAC State Quiz Bowl completion.
 * 6.D.2 The teacher values many ways in which people seek to communicate and encourages many modes of communication in the classroom. **
