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 thoughts

With the short time I tried to free version of Animoto, I saw it as another form of social networking, not really something I would use in an English class.  However, I do think that my students might be able to use the videos as background for a poetry reading in ENC 1102, especially if they chose appropriate music.  It also might be used to "springboard" a writing assignment in ENC 1101, especially in the realm of descriptive writing.  I would have to experiment more with it to see what kinds of pictures I would want to add to the video from my own collection that I have on my home computer.
