This week in our class we finished up our video presentations. Mine is on Genghis Khan and is an example for what I would expect students to make as an end of the year project. I think that with a video presentation students are more involved with their material and therefore internalize the content better. This kind of video project also helps students be creative and choose a particular character in world history they felt was most influential. This process of evaluation is highest on Blooms Taxonomy of higher order thinking. This particular project covers the UEN standard 3 objective 1 in the core curriculum for the Utah world history core. I thought the project was challenging but fun to do. Now that I have done it once and learned the skills necessary to make a basic video I will be able to apply this to other classes and projects in the future. This is also beneficial for students who would similarly complete this assignment. Bellow is my video and you can also find it by going to this address! Here is a lower resolution form of the same video. Both should work
Chris,
ReplyDeleteNice job! I learned a lot from your video. One thing to watch for would be spelling and punctuation errors in the text. You also might want to learn how to use the Ken Burns effect, as it adds interest to still photos. Well done!
