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 modeling the process of creating a paper slide video, while explaining why this process is an easy, valuable process.
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.
This video was created by my students to explain a difficult concept to a substitute, so that she would be able to help them with a specific assignment the next day.
This is a presentation about other methods of using a document camera (other than Paper Slide Videos).
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! GoogleDocs presentation with tips and project suggestions for using a classroom video camera.
