The video editing was a cool project; however I am glad I had several people in my group who knew what they were doing! Thanks guys.
Using the video would be a fantastic way to differentiate learning especially for special ed students. Unfortuntately just thinking about all the obstacles that would have to be overcome is mind boggling. The state has put such a rigid pace on teachers it is almost impossible to deviate from the pacing guide and teach all the standards. If students came to class already knowing how to use the video and how to edit that would be a whole new story. During regualr classtime there is no time to teach the storyboarding, camera angles and other little tricks to help them make their video or to even teach how to use movie maker. There is no time built into the educational world to teach students how to use technololgy. Which of course leads me back to the the keyboarding class. Why can't they teach some of those skills in there so students are ready to apply them in the classroom to communicate their knowledge.
