This post also discusses the Flipped Classroom model. |

"We take for granted that we can interact with text, but up until recently it’s been a challenge to interact (read/write/talk) with media... Being able to interact with video allows us to personalize video-based instruction, by leading learners to the segment of video we like them to watch, by adding voice-overs, notes, pop-ups, screenshots, maps, references, pauses. It also allows learners to create video with even more depth and features and can the interaction can be used to support media literacy learning."
Beth Dichter's insight:
Joyce Valenza reviews seven options for editing videos: * EDpuzzle is a "a relatively new, free tool for cropping and pausing video, adding voice overlay, audio notes, and embedding quizzes in the form of open ended or multiple choice questions." * Mozilla Popcorn Maker is a "multiple-layer video editor that invites users to remix videos to include pop-ups, text boxes, images, maps (even in streetview), as well as Wikipedia articles that continue to update." * ThingLink for Video "promises the ability to drag and add text-enhanced ThingLink icons, as well as images, and embed widgets." * eduCanon "is an interactive learning platform into which teachers may embed questions and any html object." * TED-Ed Lessons allows you to customize the lesson to meet your goals. * YouTube Video Editor "allows users to easily clip and add text and filters to videos you drag in." * Write-on Video is an iPad app that allows you to "to annotate and animate videos and pictures..." There is additional detail for each of these options in the post. She has also embedded some videos that show how to create a video in the specific site in the post. If you are new to creating vidoeo, or are looking for some new tools that are student friendly check out this post. You should find at least one or two that will meet your needs.

Excellent round-up of tools we have available to update our videos with voiceovers, notes, pop-ups, screenshots, maps, and references! |
Are you looking for tools that provide you with the opportunity to create rich, multimedia lessons and that support differentiation? The ThingLink Challenge that has been running this summer had one week that focused on using audio as well as ThingLink (for images and/or video) to design a learning experience.
This post from Susan Oxnevad provides great resources. She has embedded a video from CAST that discussed Universal Design for Learning and has links to resources as you watch. Just pause the video and check out the link!
You can also check out "Turn it Up with Audioboo on Padlet." This page provides access to a range of ThingLink projects that have audio links. You will need to click on the title of the image, which will take you to a page with a larger view, and on the lower right hand side you should see the word Source (in red) that will take you to the actual ThingLink page.
