What a job! I surely have newly found respect for why the editors of movies get Oscars. A two and a half minute video took me almost an entire week-including a couple of 12+ hour days-to produce and edit. Even though it was a lot of work, it was also a lot of fun. The best part of doing this project was learning that I could make and edit a video. Not only will this be beneficial in the classroom, it is something that will be great for sharing family activities with out-of-state relatives. As much as I think I'll be able to use this feature, I just might get as quick at it as Cameron Murray, even though I'll still have to work hard and learn a lot more to become as even near as talented.
There are many ways to use videos in the classroom. TeacherTube, a part of YouTube, has videos that can be used in the classroom. Teachers can add their own videos as well. My video was an instructional video showing how to make items. I found an instructional video for a literature circle. In this video teachers role play the parts of participants of a literature circle as a means of showing how a literature circle works. Watch this informative video from TeacherTube: Literature Circles.
See my video: Dramatizing a Fable. I hope you enjoy it.
