Creating Video Projects
Videos are an excellent media to introduce to any class. They provide visuals for the concepts that we teach in class that can make a subject come alive. Creating video projects is an even better way for students to interact with each other and the content that they learn in class. Throughout this course you will be creating two videos. The first one is an instructional video that you will make for your students about a concept for your class. The second one will be a team project in which I will take you through the process of leading a video project in your classroom.
The objective of the course is for you to leave class with something you can use in with your students and you will have the knowledge to use and create videos on your own!
