Wes Fryer Chapter 6: Video

StoryRob allows for students to record their voice over a slide show of presentation. This would be an interesting tool for creating a more interactive lecture for students, or letting them use this website as a resource for engaging their audience when presenting a project.

No edit videos are videos that students do not cut out or edit the material, creating an authentic representation of their learning. No edit videos can also be a tool for problem solving, or to better understand how that student implies the thinking process regarding learning the content.

Animated videos can be created on the website GoAnimate. Animated videos can be time consuming to make, but with the help of this website it seems to move the process along more quickly. Animated videos are an interesting and different way to capture students attention.

Video sandboxes provide educators with homegrown and a filtered resource for students. Video sandboxes are basically another version of Youtube, except school districts put restrictions on content.

I might incorporate video into one of my lesson plans by having students create a podcast. Their podcasts should include taking the role of what you believe to be an important historical figure, and explaining their thoughts, beliefs, and actions, and how it was relevant to that time period. However, it would be interesting if they created a video of illustrations or pictures to accompany their podcasts.
