July 12 - Seventh Posting

We finished our video today. I am very impressed at the little edit functions (such as add sound, trim audio and visual clips, add transitions, etc) we used to enhance our lesson. I can see creating these lessons for my students with fellow teachers, as well as teach my students how to create videos for others.        The videos I can get my students to create can range in topic and subject area. The possibilities are endless!!! The best way to learn is to be able to teach it to others. I have a hunch that learners of all ages will love working with this tool and once they have created one video, they can explore and expand their knowledge and application with this really cool tool. They could even use it outside of class in their daily lives as well. Example, create a wedding video, Do It Yourself video, etc. In additon, Smartboard technolgy and clickers are very useful tools to meet the needs of 21st century learners. Both these tools are highly interactive and engaging.
