Well I had a great time making my video for Assignment 7. I used the program Photo Story 3. It took me a little while to get started and become familiar witht he program, but after I started exploring, things got easier. I thought making a video would be more difficult, but it was surprisingly easy and user friendly.
I decided to do an educational video using digital photos from my recent vacation to Florida. I focused on parts of speech, such as nouns, verbs, and adjectives. I used various pictures from the beach that I had taken. I started out with a brief description of nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and then asked students what were some nouns, verb, and adjectives they saw in the pictures. I decided to focus on these parts of speech because a lot of my students still forget the differences between them. I thought this video could be a good review lesson, especially in the beginning of the year.
While I was making my video with the Photo Story 3 software, I thought it would be very useful for my students to use. It could be used to make a video for any subject area and topic and it allows for creativity on the student's behalf. I think it is a great alternative to PowerPoint presentations, which often get overused in today's curriculum.
