Adding on to thoughts of how digital video...my TRT and I have been brainstorming and trying to think of ideas on how to honor a wonderful teacher that will be retiring this year. My thoughts immediately went to the flip camera. It would be great to teach the students how to use the flip camera and have them video tape each other saying a few inspirational words to their teacher to include in a video memory book as a gift. The editing would be done by the TRT because of the complexity and time restraints.
Of course this idea lead to other ideas of using video in the classroom. At my second school the morning announcements are done via video feed in the classrooms. I was thinking how great it would be for students to create commercials for special events or even the student store to be played during the morning announcements as a way of advertisement. The list of ideas keep growing!

I like the idea of commercials in the morning announcements!You could even have classes create PSA's on Art cleanup items or something like that.
ReplyDeleteI too LOVE the idea of commercials during the morning announcements!! The students would really pay attention to the information presented (and I must add I would too!). Students would also talk about the event at home (more promotion of event this way!).
