Analysis

1. **__General Characteristics__**- At first I will only use this service for my 5th grade general education class. Depending on effectivness and accessibility I would consider expanding this service to all grade levels. I believe upper elementary through middle school would be most beneficial. There are no specific physical skills necessary for this service. Students will all be studying the same academic standards and thus the content from this service would directly relate to their academic needs. The ablitity to access this service will be related to each families ability to access the internet. Many students in my 5th grade class come from a middle to low socioeconomic status. Most have access to the internet, whether it be a home computer or access through the public library.
 * __Needs Analysis__ **The purpose of a needs assessment is to design a successful service that addresses a groups needs and wants. The service I will create is an online resource where my students and parents can access video lessons related to specific content covered in the classroom. Students who are absent from school, are having trouble with homework, and parents trying to help their children succeed, will all be able to utilize this service. I am often approched by parents who want to help their children succeed in school, and students who need extra help to be able to complete homework. What better way to reach this need than to provide a service in which they can access from home.

2. ** __Specific Entry Competencies__- **The students have basic computer skills developed through computer lab class, work with computers in the classroom, and experience at home. Students know how to turn computers on and off, how to navigate web pages, use the mouse and keyboard, and have basic typing skills. Most parents are able to use computer efficently as well.

3. ** __Learning Styles__ **- My students enjoy using computers for research and projects. Computers keep the students interest and I would be a more effective tool for intruction than looking through the textbook with mom or dad. Parents will enjoy the accessibility and efficiency of the content their child is studying right there in front of them. media type="custom" key="4492556" **__ Task Analysis __** __**Task Analysis for Developing Video Teacher**__ 1.
