Models for Media Selection & Working With Video

I think allocating the use of working with video is advantageous for learners in many ways. It gives students experience with a valuable skill that is very relevant in today’s society. The use of multimedia and utilizing one’s ability to create and edit videos is important to be taught and can be proven beneficial at any point in one’s life. In my earlier years of education I was taught how to use iMovie to create videos and it is a skill I have used multiple times since throughout my education. Assigning learners to create their own videos enables them to not only present material they have learned in a creative way, but also gets them more comfortable using multimedia forms like video. I think by using a tool like iMovie makes the learning experience more diverse and helps learners to absorb the material more than traditional learning techniques. The short video I have attached is a compilation of a few videos I have taken, and edited them using iMovie. I added audio over top the videos to enhance the video as well.

    Hey Julia,
    you have created a great Imovie! I always struggle making movies but it is a great multimedia tool. Movies allow the creator to be creative and can design how they please. Thanks for sharing your video!

    I really liked your video that you made and thought about how videos like that could be a great way for students to get to know one another, since these days everything is technology based. It could be a great icebreaker, for them to present a little bit about themselves before the class begins to get to know one another.

    Thanks!
