When the question was posed “ how can you use a flip camera in your classroom?” the first class that came to my mind was Power and Energy. I want to create an assignment in this class where students have to come up with, research, and explain their own safety rules for the class. These rules will deal with power tools, cleaning up a lab, and emergencies. For this assignment I want the students to create a Wiki where they can explain in-depth safety rules, and give examples of why it is important to follow these rules. Along with this I want my students to use the flip cameras to video tape proper procedures, what not to do, or any other useful material. I think this would really enhance the learning experience. At first I didn’t know if a Wikispace would support video, but after doing a quick Google search I found a site that gave instructions of how to put a video from YouTube to your Wikispace. I also found a how-to-Video on You tube that visually walks you through step by step. It seems if I want my students to put a video on their Wikispace I will need them to post their videos to YouTube first.
One concern I Have is my school blocks You Tube. So I’m not sure if I will be able to embed the video. I can talk to the technical staff and see if they can unblock it, but I have a feeling this will not be a quick easy process.

ReplyDeleteHey Wes, that idea sounds to me like it would be a good experience for the students to learn how to upload videos and safety rules at the same time. If the Wiki doesn't work, why not just have the students upload the videos onto the computer and use some other form of presentation like Power point or even just a quicktime video. I think the point of the video would still get across and the use of the technology with the cameras is still there.
