Blog post 19: Using video for teaching and learning
http://ed.ted.com/on/JxnQJrV3
I enjoyed learning about TedEd this week. The lesson I
created deals with graphic novels. I found a video on YouTube that describes
the qualities of a successful graphic novel. I like the ability to add
questions so that you can check for comprehension. The option to choose from an
open answer or multiple choice is also a great option. Multiple choice options
do not provide educators with insight into what the students feel about a
certain topic. Inserting a video into the lesson is a great way for students to
learn at their own pace which helps to make the experience more student
centered. I really love the Dig Deeper option where you can add additional
resources for the students to explore. This is a great option for students who
feel like they need more resources as well as students who are very interested
in the subject matter. I can definitely see myself using this learning tool in
the future.
There are many ways video can be incorporated in teaching
and learning in the 21st century classroom. YouTube provides a vast
amount of resources on virtually every subject matter created by others and
made available online. Many times if my sophomore students are unfamiliar with
words in our novel we will look it up on google and find a related video on
YouTube. This is a great way for students to not only read the word but to be able
to see it as well.
Students could make videos for various purposes in the 21st
century classroom. In my sophomore English, Reading, Writing, and Study Skills
class my students could create videos of chapter analysis to share with the
class. This would be a great way to get different perspectives on the novel we
read in and out of class.
Students could also create videos of their group
assignments. This would be a great way to document the collaborative process
and could also be used as a teaching tool for future students. Students could
chose roles and post video chat questions to a group chat.
Incorporating video in the classroom is a great tool for
students and teachers alike. Teachers can find videos on many different topics
that can enable them to learn new skills and abilities that will help them to
become more effective teachers. This is especially true in incorporating technology
in the classroom.
Hi Lois,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the video about graphic novel that you used in your assignment... it was educational and your students would like it too. I agree with you that the use of questions to check on learning is a great. Definitely the user of videos to enhance the learning and allowing the students to work on their own pace is a way to make the experience student-centered, and allowing them to be creative and develop skills and abilities to expand their senses to learn the subjects/lessons. Thank you for sharing.

ReplyDeleteI like the TED-ED lesson you created about graphic novels. Kids have a natural curiosity about this kind of visual topics. Like comics graphic novels have a beginning, middle, and end as well as a main character that develops through conflicts, and the story’s climax, with the main difference that the graphic novel’s text is both written and visual. The first time I use it as a student I was an old adult man. It was hard at first but then everything was okay, and I liked it.
