Video Project

Here's the link to an instruction video that I created for my Technology in Education class. I will use it to wrap-up classroom instruction during the final week before Christmas Break!

I found the process of creating a video to be quite interesting. I chose to use my computer’s preload iMovie software that comes bundled with the iLife suite for Mac operating systems. As with most apple software, the product was very user friendly, and I found that I was able to edit and fine tune the materials in my video easily in a very short period of time. I am definitely a fan of the flipped classroom, and I feel that the ease of creating instructional videos will definitely be a plus as I become acclimated with the flipped classroom concept.

 However, I did find it quite difficult to manipulate some of the more advances features on the software. However, it took a considerable about of time to explore the process of manipulating still frames and how to undo a default feature of the software. Overall, I was very impressed with the iMovie software, and I think that its user friendly interface could be a great starting point for many instructional videos. I am excited about using this video as apart of my classroom instruction this week and I am very excited about comparing classroom participation and interaction in the light of individually paced, student lead learning.
