Technology in the classroom (Portfolio piece 6)

                          A video can be very useful in a classroom. the teacher can easily download one from the internet but whats the fun in that. the videos from the internet maybe of higher quality but a video created by the teacher will better describe what he/ she would love to discussing in his/her lesson. videos can be created in windows movie maker or a movie maker soft ware can be downloaded from the internet. Videos manually created can improve the class room instruction in the following ways:
  • allows teachers to use pictures and clips students can relate to
  • teachers can allow student to collect images and clips to create a video for them self  as a class activity(depends on the class and stage of development)
  • students will be more interested in the videos the teacher created than those downloaded from the internet
  • the video can be used to bring the excitement to students. (if students are not able to visit a specific destination the teacher can use a video to bring the destination to students. taking students on a field trip without leaving the classroom).
  • the video can be used to give instructions and guidelines
  • the video can be used to incorporate ASSURE model lesson plan 

Reflection

for this piece we had to create a movie. the movie was created in windows movie maker and publish it to the blog. the piece will be used in the classroom as a exercise to identify business in Antigua. the piece will be shown within the classroom discussion when i am going to demonstrate different types on business. in creating this piece i faced some challenges:

  • finding appropriate picture
  •  understanding how to incorporate images
  • getting the appropriate music
  • getting the music to fit my piece
  • posting video to blog 
the piece could have been improved in the following ways:

  • placing more images and less word in piece
  • using more familiar business places
  • shorter video
  • better organization of video
