This week’s class was on using and creating digital video resources.

See link to Michael’s class notes here

Why are videos useful?

  • for teachers and for students’ learning
  • see the unseeable 
  • learn/ teach concepts from a different voice. It can be slowed or paused and replayed
  • accessible  
  • duel coats, seeing captions and hearing words

  • Can embed video from specific place 

In a presentation, by Rich McCue, we learned to edit videos! He taught about videography and things to concider like:

  • Stabilizing tool like a tripod
  • external mic or audio recorder 
  • be aware of noise and wind
  • don’t zoom or pan too much 
  • be aware of background 
  • get more footage than you need
  • green screen 

We used the following links to create our own short clip.
