The idea of utilizing a video project in the classroom is a very unique and valuable tool for teachers. As I was creating my video, I was continually thinking of ways that I could use the same concept in lesson plans for the future. The whole process will be simple for students to execute, but will teach them valuable lessons. We can review brainstorming concepts, the idea of making multiple drafts, using different varieties of technology, the importance of copy right laws and using creativity.
When thinking about how I could incorporate video into my curriculum, I could have my students reenact part of a book or give them an option of making a book report video. Instead of just providing information about plot, setting, time and characters, they could reenact these important concepts. They will have important decisions about what locations they should film at, the clothing of the time period and the language and dialect of the characters. It would be a challenging, but fun activity, which would incorporate technology which they are comfortable with.
Challenges with this project include limitations of technology that the school can provide, as well, the time commitment it will take from the students. I believe some students would take the project serious, where others would view it as an opportunity to fool around and try to be funny. I think the overall positive aspects of the project outweigh the challenges and it could be a very successful project.
