Within this week’s Tutorial we dived more into
specific media types that can be used in the classroom, video, audio and
pictures. I have looked at all three media types but have selected to draw my attention
to the video, as I believe it can deliver the best learning outcome for my
students.
An overview of the technical aspects
A video once made cannot be edited by anyone else
bar the creator which gives students the ability to watch and draw information
form the platform but not to modify it. I have created a video response for an
assignment which I have uploaded, this being my first attempt at using this
platform for an assignment submission. I found that my lack of experience was
enough to make a video that had headings and music layered over the top without
too much difficulty.
There are many different ways to capture and create
a video and by far the hardest part for myself, would be the editing stage. This
is where the music, titles and pictures are added to create the entire product.
I have discovered that there are numerous tutorials online on how to do
everything that is required to make a video. I realise that creating a video
may not be an issue that students encounter but if the teachers are focused on
using the entirety of the SAMR then creating a video is a good idea for
assignment submission.
Learning Outcomes
As the learning out comes of the students may not
change a great amount with the use of videos, how they reach the goal can
change dramatically. By implementing videos into an online source such as a
blog or wiki, the amount of ‘outside the classroom’ learning has the opportunity
to increase exponentially. By putting some of the onus back on the students to
create their own learning outside the classroom can also assist in building
their own set of skills that will allow them to learn better in higher
education such as university where online videos are prevalent.
Videos can also create a place of information for a
child that is nonthreatening or intimidating like a classroom can sometimes be.
It allows the student to stop, rewind the class or lecture so that the information
they require can be obtained but without the reticule that stopping a live
class my draw to an individual. By introducing videos into the class room but
mainly outside has the potential to change a teachers pedagogical views to an
entire new perspective.
SAMR Model – Videos
SAMR is a model designed to help educators infuse
technology into teaching and learning. Developed by Dr. Ruben Puentedura, the
model supports and enables teachers to design, develop, and infuse digital
learning experiences that utilize technology. The goal is to transform learning
experiences so they result in higher levels of achievement for students.
Substitution – A video on what is trigonometry, for
example a simple, what is trigonometry?
Augmentation – A video that incorporates pictures,
music and voice that can show ‘real world’ practical applications for trig.
Modification – Can allow for students to move along
at their own speed by uploading more advanced work as a video to a blog and
then/if students finish class work they can move on to other work in a lecture
style video online
Redefinition – Students instead of submitting an
assignment via paper can submit an assessment in the shape of a video that is modelled
off a proposal. This can be done by remodelling the question from “Work out and
justify answers” to “submit a video proposal to why your mathematics equations
work and should be used in an upcoming mine site build”.
