I've been thinking a lot lately about the use of video production in education. For the past two years, I have been teaching a Video Production class to the 7th graders at my school. Students create movies on topics ranging from Public Service Announcements and Documentaries, to Drug Awareness and Bullying. Though most of the movies will never win any awards, my students have learned a very important new technology. As a matter of fact, many of my former students now create videos for other classes. Students in 8th grade are creating a movie based on the concepts they learned while reading The Secret Life of Bees. Another group produced a cooking show for their French class, with the entire show filmed in French.I created a website for a presentation I am giving at the NJECC Conference at Montclair University in March. For anyone interested in using videography in education, there are some good samples as well as resources and documents that can be downloaded for use.
