In the article titled, "If you give a kid a video camera" was about about the advantages of incorporating video in subjects ranging from math, science, PE and literature. The article provided several activities that could be used in and out of the classroom to supplement any lesson plan. Using technology not only makes it fun and interactive but it "adds a new dimension to learning." For example, in science, video technology can be applied by recording an experiment. Students can review the video and discuss the different outcomes of each group's video. By doing this, it allows students to analyze, observe, and figure out which experiment had the best results. My favorite video technique is the one used in math lessons. Students go on a scavenger hunt, looking for different shapes, and record their findings. In their video, they will identify and measure angles. After, students will participate in a metacognitive discussion about their findings. I really like this project because math I know that math can be a boring subject , and by adding a different element to the learning process, students have fun and retain the information better. Teachers can also take the math lesson to another level! By collaborating with teachers and administrators, we can create a permanent art that involve shapes and angles throughout the school. For example, having outlined shapes on the playground, or art murals on walls that involves angles. This also allows all teachers to conduct a scavenger hunt themselves.
Question 1: Providing digital video camera for each student or even 5 groups of students can be expensive, is their another alternative?
A: Teachers can always modify any lesson that is specific to the needs of the students or any resource that is available. If there is only one camera available, have one group a day to participate in a scavenger hunt for the whole week. By the end of the week, all groups can discuss their findings. But today, we can find video cameras such as Flip handheld for less than $100.
Question 2: How can video technology be incorporated outside the classroom?
A: Students can take do similar projects at home with their family. For example, students in dual immersion programs can record themselves giving a tour and pointing out household objects in Spanish and English. Students will then present their video in a student-student instruction.
