Digital video is a great tool for the classroom. I had a go at making my own video (with the help of other group members) for an English Curriculum assignment. Although it is fairly simple, with only images, music and little text, I still had fun creating the video. I know that students love to have a go at creating their very own video as I have seen this within my own prac experience. The students made their own Alebrijes and use those in groups to create a claymation picture story. The results were fantastic! And these were only year 2 students!! Imagine what an upper primary student could do! Some other ideas I have for the use of digital video in the classroom are to
create a photo-story or a class video for students to take home at the end of the year. I am sure there are many more uses, my mind is just a little blank at the moment =)
I do know, however, that I will definitely use digital video as an engaging and hands on tool for students in my future classroom. Does anyone have a different feeling towards digital video?
For some reason I can not get my video to upload. Can anyone help me with this?
Hello Ash
ReplyDeleteI love digital movies as well. They are so engaging and emotive, and easily allow learners to make meaning and demonstrate their understandings.
I can't wait to witness this is action, as I am yet to see it used in Prac.
If you save your video to your desktop, then add it using the movie symbol, next to the image symbol. That's how I added my movie.
Good luck!
