Week+2+Discussion+5363

My quote for this week comes from Andrew Garrison's article Video Basics and Production Projects for the Classroom . In the article, he states "Media production engages and excites; it leads to unexpected discoveries, increased self-awareness and esteem, sharpened critical thinking, analytical skills, group work skills, and ability to communicate ideas." In other words--it was made for the classroom. I have learned so much just in the past few days about video editing software and had to do LOTS OF PROBLEM SOLVING!! I think students would have a blast with creating their own videos and learn a great deal in the process from working in groups to learning the software, to troubleshooting and developing problem-solving skills. Any teacher can come up with a project for students to do relating to their subject matter.  Garrison, Andrew. (1999).
