Videos for Higher Ed

The use of video is reinventing education. There is just something about seeing how something works that enables us to form a lasting memory of the information. As such, video is an excellent way to engage students in lessons as well as increase their retention of the subject.

This blog is a place for faculty to discuss video capture tools and make comments/recommendations for using video in instruction. As you contribute your views, please mention the tool you are using in your post's title.

Animoto comments

I felt like it was fairly user friendly for me.  Easy to upload pictures and add captions.
I would definitely be interested in the features for the upgraded "plus" membership, because I didn't really think much of the music selection, or the fact that I couldn't turn the pictures!  I even tried messing with the files on my computer and re-uploading, which still didn't get the pictures in the orientation that I wanted them.
I'm not really sure how I would use this in a math classroom very often, but I did like the previous posts about introducing a new topic or student recruitment for a class.  I would definitely need more than a 30 second video, though, for either of these applications!
