Ideas for Video in the Classroom
With the purchase of smaller camcorders many schools are beginning to use video in the classroom on a more regular basis. There are many ideas on how to use video in the classroom. Here are some of the ideas I came up with and some I got from my PLN (on twitter)
character interview
commercials/persuasive
reader’s theater
science experiments and/or demonstrations
project based learning
documentaries
digital storytelling
teaching/instructions videos
student feedback for presentations
capture snippets of learning
biographies
career profiles
community history
geography/travel
Ideas from my PLN:
@isenbergs:
PSAs on environmental, health, or school issues
claymation
record mock interviews with historical folk
cooking shows
movie trailers for books
@amy_hess:
use to make sesame st. type videos
tell stories
safe science labs
storytelling
reflect learning of content
sharing information
assimilate ideas to a theme
