Blogging a/b Videos

I enjoyed making and editing our video this week. I learned a lot about iMovie and about video cameras. Although, I didn't really like how much time it took us to do the assignment... I had fun!

After seeing all of our class videos, a few were kinda boring and others were funny and entertaining. I enjoyed the Rugrats one the best. I thought it was humorous, but it also held my attention well, so now I know how to make GAK. The other videos were very informative, but they were a little boring. I was having a hard time holding my attention there because I was losing interest.

I think it would be fun to use videos in my classroom. If I were teaching upper elementary school I think the students would enjoy learning how to make a short video in class with a small group or something. But I would keep this assignment in class, I wouldn't want to make parents responsible for this project because I want the students to learn and know, and if it were a at home assignment parents would do more work. Also, I might use short videos in my classroom for science experiements, or any other type of demonstration... especially if the video was funny, I think short videos would go over great!
