The name of my vidcast series would be called The Safety Sessions. I decided this could be a series of vidcast created by myself or students to help us remember important safety tips and rules. This series addresses the health core curriculum outlined by the state for second grade students. More specifically it addresses standard 1 which says: Students will develop a sense of self and it also addresses objective 1 which says: Describe and adopt behaviors for health and safety.
In my vidcast I decided to highlight seat belt safety. I was inspired to choose this topic for my vidcast because I was in a small car accident just a couple weeks ago. I was glad I had my seat belt on and that everyone was safe. Seat belts are so important to our safety especially because we spend so much time in cars throughout the day. I feel this topic would benefit children immensely. With the help of this simple video students could help other children learn how to wear their seat belt and be a big help in keeping others safe.
Some potential drawbacks of potentially using this series in my own classroom is that the series I created was made for children in younger grades. Children in 6th grade would not appreciate someone showing them how to put a seat belt on, how to wash their hands, or how to cross the street.
A future plan for this series would be to create an assignment in which students can create their own vidcast with help from a teacher. Students would be given options for the vidcast they could create and would be able to share their projects with others. I think this series could be very fun for younger children to work on to share their perspectives on what it means to live a safe life.
