I really enjoyed learning about video editing and all the tools that are available. From start to finish, our group video project flowed nicely. We (Lisa and I) easily came up with a topic. We chose online dating and how people lie in their profile. What worked? We mapped out our whole project and a part of the video outside of class. We had a clear picture of what we wanted and we stuck to that picture. We both said that we would have taking more video of the "date scene". We only took two video clips and luckily, we had what we needed. It surprised me how easily it come together.
Video in the classroom
I think video has value in the classroom because it connects students to pictures and sounds that they would not be exposed to. It teaches children by giving them a visual element to learn from. It gives meaning to the words you are teaching. I am teaching a fourth grade reading comprehension and fluency group. We are reading a story about Giant Squids in Japan. The outcome I would like to see from showing the video, are the my students have a visual picture of the story that I have read. We will be about to talk about the characteristics of a giant squid in it's habitat. The challenges may be finding the right video for this story and making sure it is appropriate for the students.
