Creating Videos in the Classroom

July 21st, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized

After taking the opportunity to explore the K12 Online 2008 Conference I found a session that piqued my interest.  With so many students who are visual learners, I have often thought of creating some of my own videos that will teach my students what I want them to know.  I have my own camera, but my department also acquired some video cameras.  However, I don’t know much about video production. 

Kicking it Up a Notch – Film School For Video Podcasters provides some of the most basic tips for effective video production.  This 15 minute session will help me create my own videos, but can also be shown to my students if they want to produce a video.  I know I have some creative minds in my classes, I just need to find the best ways to tap that creativity.

Although this session talked about purchasing more equipment, I believe I can improve the quality of my productions with the equipment I already have.  Because the budget is not available for several thousands of dollars worth of video cameras, microphones, and lighting, I will make due with the few hundreds of dollars that has already been invested.  I am not looking to produce a masterpiece along the lines of Steven Spielberg.  However, I think I can make short video clips that can relay my lessons effectively.
