The vidcast that my partner and I created is called Paint. It is an introduction to the different techniques and forms of painting that will be worked on throughout the next following weeks. We chose to do art because we are required to teach it in the classroom for field. It is based on 5th grade, standard 1: The student will explore and refine the application of media, techniques, and artistic processes. Objective 1:Explore a variety of art materials while learning new techniques and processes.
Vidcasts such as this can be very beneficial in the classroom because they can easily catch the attention of the students as well as make them interested in learning/doing it. Having the students make their own can be beneficial too, because they can do enjoyable research and become engaged in primary sources. This vidcast is an aid to "Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity". They will be able to reflect on their learning and experiences.
There are some drawbacks in the use of this vidcast, for one I feel that although we spent countless hours on this assignment it is still slightly boring. I would probably do it in a different program because Powerpoint is not near as fun as I'd hope it to be. We worked very hard on this and I enjoy making videos, but in the future I would want to become more knowledgeable of other programs to make it more interesting. I am not sure if i will use this in my future teaching; most likely if I do, I will add more too it and make some alterations to really make it exciting. I just wish I would have had a greater knowledge of the programs.
