I have wanted to begin using videos with my students in elem. school. I am getting a lot of support from this blog and one I discovered by accident. They both talk about storyboarding and scene selection, not just doing a powerpoint. The other site is a kindergarten teacher doing some great things with her students and seeing great results. Put these two blogs together and I’m feeling the confidence to start. The other site is http://blogs.scholastic.com/classroom_solutions/2009/09/making-movies-with-students.html.

I’m a video editor and my wife’s a teacher. So guess what I get do do on my days off. Thats right, make support video’s for my wife. . . But the Kids love them, even a simple montage of stills with music and narrative just grabs their attention. If your working with kids you can do the same by using powerpoint (PC) or Keynote (MAC) – There both quick and easy to use and will bring new life to the class room – Have Fun

regarding media literacy, teachers should teach the students the positive and negative sides of the media and how they will respond to them.. Media are the powerful toos\ls for effective communication but there are certain abuse that greatly affect the viewers especially the youth, so there must be guidance

Mathew, you have just become one of my best friends. I needed a link like the one you gave to prove increased test scores. I am working on a grant to do something extremely similar, and this will be just the thing I need. Thanks so much. By the way, if you are on Twitter, I am WOScholar. Love to have you follow me so I can follow you as well.

Thanks Deidre for visiting the blog and for sharing your daughter’s video project. By reflecting upon and extending Steinbeck’s novel, your daughter has reached higher levels on Bloom’s Taxonomy than she might have if not given the chance.

What I like about film making is that it incorporates so many different talents that it allows students and teachers to discover skill areas they might not otherwise discover in a traditional classroom.

My daughter is severely dyslexic and was miserable in school until she discovered video in Grade 7. Here is a video she created at 14 for a class assignment even though her teacher refused her request to do the video instead of an essay. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7oAzUE9TwxA
Teachers rarely let her do videos and they took a lot more of her time than essays but when they let her make videos she really was able to demonstrate what she knew. In this case, she wanted to say something about the nameless character of Curly’s wife.

Matt,
When we get back to school, my students are going to create video montages. Of course they’ll have to teach me how to do this because I don’t have a clue. Surprisingly , to me at least, when I suggested we do this no one thought there might be a problem, no that is but me. I’m in for a steep learning curve come Monday.

Thanks for the information. I teach at risk kids and use video and podcasting in my instruction. It has transformed my classroom. If we don’t get creative, we do lose them.
