VIDEO

Using Windows movie maker, with power point is one way of creating a production. The above production took approximately 20minutes.

Using Video in the classroom, has tremendous possibilities. Video can be utilised with blogs, wiki's, and u-tube productions. In a school workshop situation, step by step instructions can be filmed during class and posted to a blog, wiki or web-site.

Students may also elect to create a short movie presentation on working safely in the workshop. Unlike developing a live skit, making movies do not require learning lines. Students can read the lines with particular camera angles deployed. A series of safety in the workshop may have further benefits to schools in other districts; potential collaboration to create further movies.

Video productions could be used by students as an assessment task to journal their chosen task. For example; the task might be to create an art piece made from: steel, wood, plastic or all three. As the students begins searching for materials, or designs the art piece, a sequencial journal id developed.

The class creations may have a possibility to be on display at an art gallery, with a documentary playing on a loop. Or the winner chosen for a local news story; short movie inclusive.
