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 is useful

I can see a lot of things to do with Animoto. It's so easy to put videos together that I might have my students create them as part of assignments, perhaps as an alternative to PowerPoint. I use unusual pictures as prompts for writing and am considering putting together a video of the ones I've used at the end of the school year. Perhaps I'll have them create summaries with animoto as well. I'm definitely going to use this!
I don't see any real downside. It seems that this tool is only limited by one's imagination!
