Video can be a very powerful teaching tool, especially if the students are the ones making the videos. I have used video making in my classroom and sponsored an after school club for movie making.
My students have used the iPad apps: Explain Everything, Educreations, Puppet Pals and Morpho, as well as the video camera application. We have also used Powtoon and iMovie. Using these applications in isolation and mixed media formats, I have guided my students through the creation of:
- Math tutorial videos
- Earth Day educational videos
- Heat inquiry project videos
- project presentation videos
- movie trailers for novel studies
- mock interview videos
