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 fun

Directions are easy to follow all the way through production. I found it useful to create a separate folder on the desktop first, then copied and pasted photos into it so that all were ready to go in advance. The tricky part for me was getting the link into the dropbox, lol. I work with ESL students, and could easily incorporate this slideshow format into theme-based units using photos taken of familiar people, place, and things on campus and around town. Great for many things from warm-up activities to reviews of concepts, vocabulary, and key points--even a group project.
