I loved seeing how this presentation incorporated their own video into their demonstration!  Way to go John for showing your video on the running man!  Digital literacy is definitely improved by using video.

Here is an interesting link of videos teachers use in education: https://www.youtube.com/user/teachers/playlists  

Just make sure to watch the videos first to make sure that they are appropriate and that there isn’t anything freaky in the video somewhere.

Good tip to remember: Use “start at time”

Here are some key points from today:

How can videos be used?

  • Can replace written text to keep subjects diverse and exciting
  • Show a video and then ask students to think critically about it
  • Students can make videos (video journaling, creative films, how to videos)

Some ideas to use digital literacy for teaching:

Video as a tool for Assessment

  • Pedagogical Narration
  • How-to Videos (could use Flipgrid)
  • Digital Portfolios – using google sites for self-assessment like Sheri Gurney uses

Cautions

  • Watch the whole video first before you show the video to make sure it’s what you are looking for and that it doesn’t have something freaky in it in the end
  • Have purpose
  • Equipment dependant
  • Don’t just play whole video
  • Make sure they are engaged
  • Tip: Use “start at time”
