Summary: The article
discusses the relationship between a new technological device and a child’s
desire to learn about it.
Educators can use video cameras for many different creative assignments
and in all different school subjects.
Students can use video cameras to record interviews, scientific
experiments, create book reports and math story problems, etc. There are so many different ways that
technological devices, like video cameras, can be incorporated into education
to benefit student’s understanding of the lesson and think with a different
perspective and mindset.
Question 1: How can I use
video cameras as an educational tool?
When I was in a Spanish class, I had a project that required my group to
create and tell a short story entirely in Spanish. Since the class periods were
short, each group had to create a video to present to the teacher and
classmates, so that class time would not be lost in the transition of different
scenes and group presentations. My
group had a lot of fun creating characters, acting out different scenes, and editing
out our bloopers. We really
learned a lot because we collaborated to translate our text into Spanish and
took turns recording with the video camera. It was a fun project that really engaged all different areas
of learning. I can use video
cameras in my classroom to have students record a project so that they learn from
a different perspective of the lesson and also engage different parts of their
brain when they learn to use a new technological device.
Question 2: How will I
ensure the cautious care with expensive learning devices?
Before the students use the video cameras, I will teach a lesson on the
basic use of video cameras and how to properly handle them.
