Video clip-under construction

Do you agree that the teaching and learning process can be effective when we integrate different types of technological widgets, websites and courseware into the lesson? I, of course…
For instance, during my SEP program at SK Desa Tasik, I observed that the science teacher tend to play science video clips and CD-ROMs for the pupils to watch more compare to asking them to read or refer to science books. The primary school pupils were also being interactive as they responded actively to the motion facts and images displayed on the screen. The pupils also could recall easier the pictures and scientific terms from the clips when teacher reflected the lesson. It is crystal clear that one of the ways that pupils’ learning take place is by viewing video clips. So, as teachers, we should be able to prepare video-clips to assist the teaching and learning in classroom. Therefore, now through this course project, we were given the opportunity to create a 3-minute video clip, using our creative strategies in order to teach topic for English, Science or Mathematics. As for me, I have decided to teach a grammar point, prepositions by capturing the video of the positions and movements of an artificial mouse. The equipment that I going to use to shoot is probably my hand phone video. Besides that, I would be using Windows Movie Maker to edit this video clip. However, I don’t have the basic knowledge to use this software and I was quite nervous about it. Fortunately, through ADEC, instructions and examples related to educational video clips were displayed for us by Prof.Maznah and Ms.Ng. Thus, it helps me to learn the basic features of Windows Movie Maker such as importing video, adding effects, splitting clips and so on. Hence, I’m working hard on it as I learn from my friends and browse net for info in order to prepare a video clip for an effective and attractive learning tool.So, good luck for the rest too...
