Journal Post #9

Focus Question: How can Teachers use video resources in their teachings?
It is becoming more popular to use videos,DVD,YouTube and ect. Even what we are going over in class right now about the Instructional Strategies, we are going over on what we use in our class in order to get our students interacting and being involved in the lesson. Students are more about visuals anyone can sit and listen but a video or any video accessories can help the student who learn more by seeing is great for Visual Learners. For an example given in the book Transforming Learning with New Technologies,(pg 271) they say that a successful strategy used was when watching a video with your class you can stop and pause the video to have the students ask and answer questions. This video about teachers using Video sheds light on how videos can help students get involved. 

Tech Tool Link:  Since I am wanting to go into middle school and trying to grab the attention of teenagers will be challenging but the tech tool in the book talks about one of the most popular tools IPODS,IPADS and ect. Now to everyone it is just a way to listen to music but we can get it to play in our favor in the classroom. It talks about how college students are using the ipods in the classroom in order to record and have full and quick access to videos or anything needed for the lesson, since ipods now in days are coming with full wifi and able to almost do anything a computer can do. Even us teachers are using it to record ourselves so we can go back and listen to see what we can improve on. Now the websites they  

Summary: Chapter 9 goes into the way on communication and Power point.  Power point is what we were going over in our class right now and being able to learn and master the power point a huge thing, because that is how alot of projects are done now in days in the class. Just because it is easy for students to get into the project and have them work in a group. I have learned from this chapter because in order to be able to have this in my class is a huge advantage. Cameras was talked about as well since now almost everything is communicated over the phone or online but now we are being able to video chat just as easily. This is a huge help for online classes and for students to be able to brainstorm with students who don't even live in the U.S, such as the blog we did with the students from Australia, if we did use video chat we could of created even a bigger project. And putting this in the classroom we can have the kids in a real life situation because most of the time you wont be able to communicate with your bosses if they live in another country and its easier to communicate with someone if their right in front of you.
