Making a video was fun! I went through previous photos on my computer and found some that tell a story as that is what I think videos are for, telling a story. In this situation we went fishing, but did not check the tides and got stuck on a sand bank.
Using Movie maker was quite simple, transferring images, put in transitions, effects, music and titles and credits. The video I have made is quite simple but it was just me playing around with all the features. As some of the photos have people in them I asked them if they would mind if I could use the photos, but would not name them. Making a video is very time consuming but the end product is worth it. I enjoyed producing my video as students will as well. Videos can be created and watched on portable devices like mobile phones, digital cameras and digital video cameras (Bell. L and Bull. G (2010). Using video production in the student learning will encourage Higher Order Thinking, communication, organisation and presentation skills, a variety of literacy resources and teamwork. According to Kearney and Schuck (2006), by using digital video production in student learning students:
- Develop movie making skills
- Develop spoken and written literacies
- Develop media literacies
- Improve in presentation skills (p. 8).
Using a thinking routine like the SWOT Analysis will illustrate if the use of digital video production would be beneficial in student learning.
| Strengths | Weaknesses |
| Higher Order Thinking Creativity Use of different literacies Motivation Active learning | Time Limited access to digital technology |
| Threats | Opportunities |
| Risk of using photos in the video of people who have not signed an agreement form | To create a video that makes meaning New way of presenting information |
Video production in HPE (one of my teaching areas), could be used to film students in performing a skill for assessment or in Science, the use of digital video could be used by taking photos of an experiment over a couple of weeks, and producing a video of what is happening everyday in the experiment.
