Videos REFLECTION

WHAT?: This week's lesson was combined with the lesson from the previous class period. We learned about different video simulations, and we also learned how to convert them and post them. Our assignment is to find an education video off youtube or teachertube and to post it as a document on UEN in the tools tab.

SO WHAT?: I think that this essential information to me as a teacher, student, or colleague. I think that I will use many educational videos in my classroom to teach different lessons. Also, I could also use them if I have to give presentations to my colleagues or I could even show them the different videos to teach them different ideas that I use.

I think that also as a teacher I will be able to make some of these video simulations and post them for other people to use. I could also use some of my co-workers ideas through video simulations. I think I could make my children do a couple different assignments through these educational videos. I could have them look on the different video sites that were listed on our class website for certain educational videos of something that they would want to teach the class (in a group or as individuals.) I could even have them make their own educational videos that they share with the class.

NOW WHAT?: I think that these video simulations can make me a better teacher because I can use these educational videos to better my knowledge on certain subjects. Also I feel that it will make me a better colleague because I will be able to share these ideas with my school/co-workers. I think that education is slowly going all towards more technology based lecturing, so I think that you will see these video simulations used more and more. Therefore, it is better that I have learned about these different options.

I am glad that we learned about these video simulations in class. I know that as a teacher or even as a student I will put them to great use. Also, I am glad that we got so many different options of different video websites listed on our class site. It makes it very handy to find videos using these different places. I think it is awesome how much we are learning in this classroom, and I know that it is stuff that I will use throughout the rest of my life!
