Educational Video

This video was very educational. I had shot quite a bit of extra video to replace some of the monologue. Iwas unable to use the video due to a puppy I have eating about $70 worth of cables to my computer, including the one that went to my camera. I see this a a useful tool in diversifying lecture with something that can not only be entertaining, but educational also. The creativity of the class was amazing. I have to say that there were some very interesting concepts of educational videos in the presentations. This can be a time consuming endeavor, but in the long run I believe that with creativity there will be aspects of subjects that get left behind in a regular lecture. Having a video posting also allows a student to go back and pick up crucial points that may have been lost in a presentation. Making videos also allows an instructor to add visual element that would enhance a presentation. The visuals may not be presentable in a regular presentation without time lapse from connecting to the link and slow connections. There are many inexpensive resources to shoot and edit video that it would be a loss to the educational environment not to use video enhancement in class.
