Recently being enlightened of the seriousness of taking care
of the environment, the group decided to create a video with that issue in mind. The video is entitled "Saving Earth”. It depicts pollution and its effect on the environment,
Earth’s reaction to what humans have done and what needs to be done to correct the issues. The audio that was added to the piece enhanced it, as well as the still photos that were chosen. These
aspects made the video come to life. The
content of the video is geared towards students of Grade three to Grade
six. It is my hope that after viewing, that students will think critically about what is
displayed and begin or
in some instances continue to make an impact on the environment.
Some students are visual learners. Therefore, I believe that
videos can be used to improve students' approaches to learning. Educators who utilize technology of this sort in the
classroom will indeed capture student’s interest. The can also use a video as an accompaniment to the lesson , so that they are not the only voice being heard all the
time. With a video, instruction in the classroom will be enhanced, because the
teacher will not be only source of information.
REFLECTION
For Portfolio piece #6, a video was created entitled “Saving
Earth”. The video will be used to educate students on the importance of
taking care of the environment and bringing awareness to the situation. The major challenges faced in creating the
piece was that the Windows Live Movie Maker programme kept shutting down. The group had to redo at least twice, what
we had accomplished to a particular point of choosing the photos. Additionally, after completion there were challenges experienced in downloading the video unto the blog. The piece could have been improved if we had
a video with persons actually giving tips verbally about how to help care for
the environment.
