Video Editing Steps

  • Objective: 
    • To introduce the participant to the basic requirements and steps to creating videos with students.
    • To create or copy a classroom idea in the creation of a video.
    • Upload finished video to TeacherTube and then copy and paste the link into the submission area of WebCT
  • Task:
    • Create a video.   This will be a curriculum video.  A sample output of what your students will have done. You can create your own or do something from the Apple Learning Exchange. Later in the teacher education program you will be asked to video yourself teaching a lesson.  This assignment should help with the finished product you produce from that lesson. Your project may/should include still photos, motion video, music, and narration.
