"Over the last month I've facilitated a handful of workshops on the topic of video creation in the classroom. One of the points that I always try to stress in those workshops is that the focus of most student video projects should be on developing and delivering clear story lines. Yes, it is great if students use slick transitions and special effects, but those don't mean a thing if the video doesn't have a clear purpose (unless that purpose is to demonstrate editing skills)."

How can we keep our students engaged and provide them with opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of content? Allow them to create a video!
Richard Byrne's post discusses this option and provides many resources to assist you. He also discusses this as a classroom teacher whom is not teaching video production.
One link will take you to a page Video Projects. This page provides resources that will help you learn:
* Designing and Developing Video Projects which discusses 5 video projects that you might choose to implement.
* Today's Activities which provides a variety of options as to how you might introduce this to your class. He also provides a list of questions to help you plan the project. The sections provided are:
* Planning the Student Video Project
* Assesing the Student Video Project: Pre-Production
* Asessing the Student Video Project: Post-Production
You will then find resources in the following areas (with each one briefly descibed):
* Free Video Creation Tools
* Sound and Music Sources
* Image Sources
* Sharing Videos
The original post also includes two sample videos. One is embedded within the post: Black Death in 90 Seconds, created by a teacher. There is a link to one created by a student, My Name is Michael, whom "explains what life is like living with Autism."
