Digital+Video

=Digital Video=

The digital video assignment had us create a digital video designed around a lesson that our students could create or we would create for them. In this video we learned out to use movie maker by compliling a slideshow of pictures that coincided with a script and audio that narrated and complimented the video. We also had to use transitions for the slides as well as adding color and overlays to add some character to the video. This assignment greatly contributed to my knowledge of educational technology by enabling me to use movie maker, software that I was not familiar with as well as putting my newly learned skills in audacity to good use. This assignment prepared me to teach with technology because it offered me a new way to teach an assignment, rather than the tired old powerpoints. I have rellied very heavily on Powerpoint, however this video had more options and visuals that might peak students' interest more than the powerpoints that lose their excitement after doing them so many times. I see myself using this in the classroom as an alternate to a lecture/Powerpoint or as a project that the students can put together as their assessment rather than the normal test.
