1. After reading this article it is hard not to realize the power of using video with students. Describe a way you could use video in a similar way with your own K-12 students.
Being that I want to teach students at the primary grade level, I feel that creating video presentations for small groups may be too advanced for the younger students who may have never worked with a video camera before. However, groups with an adult, such as a parent, another teacher, or anyone who can responsibly handle a video camera, would be able to create videos and work together. One way I could use videos in the classroom would be to create a documentary of the classroom and activities the students had taken part in, such as talent shows, performances, or even class work. For example, in kindergarten, my class gave a performance of a circus for our parents and we had the entire act recorded on a video camera and then distributed to all of the parents that had paid for a copy of the circus presentation. To this day, I remember all of the circus acts that my class had performed that day, and I still have a copy of that video
Seara,
ReplyDeleteI think that the video usage by the parents and teachers is a great idea because there is still the concept of using video. I think that even Kindergarteners will still recognize that you can use video to capture fun and educational memories.
