Videos+(including+paper+slide)

Paper slide videos These videos are created using a document camera, and are one of the fastest, most valuable teaching methods that I've recently discovered! I'd heard about this process, but it felt a little intimidating, and I put off learning about it for almost a year. When I finally delved into it, I was astonished by how quick the process is, and by how quickly my students became experts. They love to "show what they know" using this, and it's a great method for me to assess who has a concept, with documentation! It is also a valuable tool at parent/teacher conference time, as well as providing "evidence" at student improvement team meetings!

This video is a paper slide video created for a teacher audience, as a lighthearted intro to the process of choosing a school-wide theme for the next year. The students watched me create this video as another example before they began creating their own videos. media type="file" key="PSV 2011-2012 theme.mov" width="300" height="300"

Handheld video camera Why is it that I always forget the power of a video camera? I have a little handheld pocket cam, and it is like a magical talisman in my classroom. Perfect for recording science experiments, summarizing the day's learning, showcasing students who choose to communicate their learning via drama/plays, providing evidence for parent conference time, providing an alternative for students who struggle with putting their words onto paper, etc. - the list goes on and on! And using that little camera is such a quick way to literally SHOW parents what we've been doing during the day - we just post a little video to the class blog at the end of the day!
