Using Video's to Enhance Your Classroom

1-You, as the educator and create a video of your students conducting and performing lab experiments and exhibiting laboratory safty to use as demonstration, instead of you just lecturing about it.

2-Have your students create and post a video of a physical research project that they have conducted on environmental issues and PPM.

3- Have your students create and instructional video to educate each other on a concept, law or theory.

4- You, as the educator, can let your students choose to do their Lab Journal writing as a video journal which you can view to check their progress and understanding or to do it the traditional written way.

Common Origin on Prezi

Tips for Prezi Creation!!

(1)If you are going to just import a PPT like I did, you need to make it simple, but getting rid of all the motions that occur in it and even maybe simplify the color patterns and stuff. This will just help it down load easier.

(2) You can just use the original slide, but Prezi allows you to add caption, extra visuals and ever zoom is past the slide for the fine print, I would suggest you add some that extra stuff in so that if isn't just a moving PPT

(3)I would suggest using the short tutorial they offer in the beginning, I was stubborn and refused to use it at first,but then I caved in and it was really helpful and I was much more efficient at creating my Prezi.

(4) I would recommend using all the fun tools such as creating fun and interesting paths...but sometimes it is just best to move from one slide to the next with out too much twisting and turning, because it could make your audience a bit motion sick. This can probably be avoided how ever by going through the slides at a very slow pace!

Tips on Creating an Instructional Video

Tip #1- I experienced some problems because I recorded with a device that puts out video formatted in MOV and the programs on my computer could read that format so I had to go through a long process of converting all the video clips to WMV, so moral of the story is to create a video that will come out in the format that your computer programs can read.

Tip #2- Using Windows Movie Maker, if you have video that is segmented, before you worry about cutting and how to put them together,just put them all in to one project and then use the splitting tool to cut out the parts you don't want. This requires pretty good timing on your part, but it is doable.

Tip #3- The use of transitions between segments is great, as I watch my video now though, I think that I used too many transitions where they weren't necessarily needed and it feels a bit cluttered, so just beware of that.

Tip #4- When saving it, don't just push the save button, on my computer the automatic save button saved my movie as a random WSMMV or something like that, and I had to go through another conversion process to get in into WMV.

Tips for Using the Powerpoint

NUMBER ONE: I notice a lot of people use it as an information regurgitation, but that really isn't the purpose of them. I put a lot of open info on one slide, and on the original I scheduled them to come in at different times, so that we could learn and discuss one slide at a time. The whole PPT could take more than one day, and that would be just fine!

NUMBER TWO: We learned in one of our classes to make PPT's interactive, but having the class move back and forth from working, solving problems that you can include on the screen to looking and the info presented and taking notes. That way you are changing up the view to keep the students attention.

NUMBER THREE: Make it catchy to the eye, but not overwhelming, where it becomes a distraction to you or the students.

NUMBER FOUR: Adding video into your PPT isn't a bad idea either. That just helps give it some diversity from looking at a still fame screen to watching something that incorporates music and video!
