Instructions and TIPS
You MUST rename this file to
replace LASTNAME with your last name and FIRSTNAME with your first name (as it
is written in Banner). Leave the rest of the file name exactly as is.
For example, IF your name were Joy Lee, you would:
Rename LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME_3_Videos_Unit_1_10pt_Due_On_Date_of_Unit_1_1302.rtf
To be LEE_JOY_3_Videos_Unit_1_10pt_Due_On_Date_of_Unit_1_1302.rtf
3 Tips:
·
The How to Do the Unit
Videos (1st from the top of Videos & Assignments) takes the
instructions below and inserts an example what you record for Step 2.
·
The Searchable List (2nd
from top of Videos & Assignments) lets you see a list of all videos, what

·
How to
Click to See a Video (3rd from top of Videos & Assignments) tells you how to click on these videos so you can display them.
Tip: The Dallas TeleLearning videos have an interface
that requires something that you may find to be different than you are used to.
Before You Write Your Answer
The purpose of this assignment is to help you see change over time
period covered by the Unit. The purpose is not
to summarize each video or write a lot of words.
To quote the syllabus:
You
choose three videos, one from each Part of the Unit, to see how history
changes on an issue that matters to you. Examples: what happened to African
Americans, big business, factory workers, farmers, immigrants, ranchers,
technology, women, and so on. |
Before
you write your answers, you need to choose your probable videos. You do that by
thinking about what you want to see (such as what happened to workers) and then
using the Searchable List. The Searchable List shows you all of the videos that
the Dallas Telelearning group created (and the
Virtual College of Texas lets us use). It also tells you how to search and
bring up a Find box if you do not already know. Tip: depending on the browser,
the Find box may be at the top, bottom, or perhaps other places.
Once
you find a video that you want to look at, be sure to copy and paste somewhere:
* The
folder name – The bold title above a list (The videos are grouped by folders
with those names.)
* The
video name – The name in the left column of the list
Go
look at the 3 videos. You may find one of them is not what you need; then
choose another.
Note: You cannot choose
videos in Unit 1 labeled as (Background from the Pre-1877 Section.) The first
ones you can choose are from the folder Gilded Age.
