Video
Video editing software allows movies
to be edited and combined with special effects, such as screen fades, titles,
transitions, and voice-over audio sound
effects. A vodcast is when a completed video is exported and uploaded online for public viewing. Teachers can use video editing software to create meaningful presentations to engage learners. Students use high order thinking skills to create their own videos through video editing software. For example, students can create a movie on any famous figure that has been inspirational in their life. The students will research, collaborate and share their completed movie onto the classroom website. Higher LoTi levels are achieved, especially when the student's work is being shared outside of the classroom. Some great video editing software are Moviemaker, Propaganda and IMovie. In this software videos can be easily made and exported into different formats such as: AVI, MPEG and MOV. Students can use video cameras to film their own scenes for the movie.
Copyright is an important aspect when creating video. Students nor the teacher can use a full length song and distribute it without paying the artist. The Fair Use Act comes in handy because it entitles video makers with the ability to use a limited amount of content without acquiring consent from the right holders.Everybody must give credit of copyrighted material in the credits of a video, whether it be music, graphics or text. Teachers can use the website www.turnitin.com to insure that their students are not committing plagiarism and giving credit to the artist in their videos. It is also a good strategy to provide students with a link to get appropriate graphics for their videos and to avoid mature content. The videos that are created by the students should be monitor and identities besides a first name of the student should be left out of the video if posted online.

Below I have included a movie I made with the video editing software Moviemaker. My movie is about the life of Harriet Tubman, an African American slave. The movie highlights the Underground Railroad. The movie is based off of a 1st grade level Social Studies standard of historical figures. The movie includes graphics, music and a video. You can view the movie in 2 different formats WAV (older computers) and MP4 (newer computers).
Please take a look below at my 1st grade lesson idea covering how to create a video about a famous historical figure. |
