Video in the age of participation
Glen Bull
I liked the international wildlife web cams at the waterholes of nature. That is neat. Discovery is a great resource to let you pull from a file of 40,000 clips to use for a specific instruction. I agree that this is a generation that is set on the use of technology. It is no longer the age of the orator rather the artist. WE need to have more access to video for the use of teaching. My question is how do we not go over board? How can we incorporate video, and also make it be effective. Well, the author seems to make it clear that this is an additional help aide for a specific subject. Videos online are not the basis rather they are the supplement. They create a picture for the kids to see, that can better help the student understand what is going on. The main segment of this article talks about Discovery Educators network, this allows teachers and students to use work for instruction. 70% of schools in the United States subscribe to this. It is neat to see how accessible these different forms of media are these days. What is the advantage of a multimedia library such as DEN.? The author shows us that the teachers like these videos because they are directly what you are looking for. It is the fast-forward version of a video.
