Orientation

In order for our system to run smoothly (or at least to have as few bumps in the road as possible), you will need to complete several required mini-quests. Think of these like an orientation to the Media Production lab.

Each of these quests should take you less than a full class period. In its entirety, the Orientation Quest should take you a total of three class periods.

Orientation Quest 1: Creating your learning environment:

• Create your individual course standards tracking document. If you have a tracking document from a previous semester, you may continue to build on that document.
• Take a short quiz to demonstrate your understanding of how the course will operate this semester

Orientation Quest 2: No more carrot or stick

• Moving toward autonomy, mastery, and purpose as the motivators for our class
• Think about your motivational landscape--what are your reasons for taking this class?

Orientation Quest 3: The Rules for the Room & Gear We're going to skip this for the fall of 2020.

• You know these already, but at the start of a new semester it is good to review. You must agree (or re-agree) to follow the rules that allow the Media Production Lab to function efficiently and effectively.
  • You will complete a short online quiz about this topic.

Orientation Quest 4: Ira Glass' Advice

• Watch a short video.

Orientation Quest 5: In search of an understanding of creativity

• Create (or update) your vanity card as part of this examination of creativity.

Orientation Quest 6: Mistakes will be made

• The four types of mistakes
