WHAT:
Today we learned about digital videos. We watched different examples and then talked about our homework--which is doing a storyboard for our own videos.
SO WHAT:
To me this is very good to learn about. I love history and videos add so much to learning about them. As a student now, I can use them in my different lesson plans that we're doing for field. I can also start using it in my presentations for my classes. This is beneficial to all of us in the education program. When we teach using primary sources in lessons, this is a good way to incorporate them and get the point across that we specifically are trying to portray. It also is fun to watch.
NOW WHAT:
It is something that can be very fun and useful in the classroom. I am very passionate about things like history because I have visited a lot of the American sites and experienced them for myself. I feel that by doing videos like this in the classroom, you can invoke emotion into the curriculum that normally wouldn't be there. It incorporates primary sources and helps them to get more out of the lessons. I plan to start working now to both find stories I can use on certain topics and also find some that have already been done to use in my classroom. Also I will continue to practice using the different movie making tools so that I will be better at them later. I do plan to do assignments like this is my future classroom as well, to help the students learn more about certain subjects.
