Gone are the days of rolling out the CRT television while students smile with delight.
Today, classrooms are saturated with devices that allow for more than just consumption of video content. Join us as we explore two popular video tools (Flipgrid and EdPuzzle) that promote student engagement and creation.
With the constantly increasing access to devices and the internet in today’s classrooms, the use of video as an instructional tool has also grown in popularity. However, having students view a YouTube clip on an iPad is not significantly different than having an entire class watch a video via the overhead projector. Participants will explore the pervasive use of video in today’s classrooms through the lens of Liz Kolb’s Triple E Framework. In doing so, this session will address two ISTE Standards for students (Empowered Learner, Global Communicator) and one for teachers (Designer) by focusing on three key areas of video-based learning: students as video producers rather than consumers; students interacting with the video rather than passively watching; and, students collaborating with others through and with video tools.
