Summary and Recap

Name

What aspect of video you want to focus on in your classroom

DIFFERENT LEARNING STYLES
Aural
Visual
Kinesthetic
TEACHER VIDEO: Visual
STUDENT VIDEO: Visual and Kinesthetic

Demonstration (one-time)
Allows you to demonstrate things you may not be able to within the confines or timeframe of the regular classroom
Review
Extra Support Materials
“ Speak the same language”
Allows students who are absent to easily catch-up on work missed
Usually only have to make it one time

STUDENTS CREATING VIDEO RECORDINGS
Allows students to learn new concepts in conjunction with their subject material
Differentiated Instruction / Student Choice
Though more work in setting up, often easier end result
Proper training on equipment/software is VITAL
Additional allotted class time
Permission forms for posting any work with student photos or names included

Def: the practice of using computer-based tools to tell stories
Digital stories usually contain some mixture of computer-based images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips and/or music
Gives a whole new meaning to text when not just read, but seen and/or heard also

Public Service Announcements
“ Movie” Trailer (book, article, historical era or event)
Documentary
Virtual Tour
Story told from the perspective of an object

To make a video recording to use in the classroom, you need:
Video Camera (Simpler is better)
Cable to connect camera to display
Computer
Video Editing Software (optional)
Web site to host your clip (if posting online)
TeacherWeb
Wiki Page
Podcast Hosting Site (if making a podcast)

EASIEST: FLIP Video Camera, Digital camera with a video feature, Webcam, or other USB cameras, including WebCams
“ Plug and Play”
Record your video on the camera, plug in to the computer, transfer your completed video file
Quality is acceptable for basic classroom and online use
Often can connect directly to display (TV or Projector)
If high-quality video is needed, use a better digital video camera

Classroom Uses:
Put pictures together
Film demonstration that is not practical during class time
Parodies/Reenactments
Internet Uses:
Review/Demonstration of Concepts
Extended Learning (add’l topics)
