Chapter 6: Using Video for Creative Expression
Creating Media for Learning, page 60:
"The large shift that’s occurred in recent years is that we’ve grown from being passive viewers of video to becoming prodigious producers of it." Creating Media for Learning, page 61: "Fluent and meaningful video production engages a wide range of important skills. Projects require the same rigorous research and planning as written assignments, and articulation is often a collaborative effort that blends sophisticated visual and aural expression. The use of video production as a learning tool is also far reaching, from elementary students demonstrating learning of the alphabet to the documentation and explanation of a science experiment in high school. Video creation is rich in educational potential and can engage students in deep and meaningful learning experiences." Resources and additional examples |
