In this article, The author describes the importance of video and multimedia not only for students, but for teachers ans parents. When I was in school, elementary through High School, we had very few multimedia tools would use. We had an over-head projector, computers for word processing only and movie reels for the projector. We did not have the internet, video cameras, editing tools, etc.
This author breaks down the importance of video into four categories. First one is Seeing. Seeing is a way to show people something they might not have seen before. The second one is Engaging. Engaging is a way to pull a person in to a situation or topic and keeps them interested. The third one is Doing. Doing is the attitude-watch and doing what others do. And skill-intentional effort and practice. The last one is Saying. Saying is why and how, facts and ways to tell the information. The use of video and multimedia are important to all types of learners. I would have liked to have an option on how I could learn. Teachers can also benefit from computer use in the classroom. Videos can be used for teaching the class as a whole or specific for one student.
Not until I was in college did I use the video for learning. I as a pole vaulter at SDSU and we would video tape our selves vaulting. After each jump we were able to see what techniques we were doing and not doing. This helped me improve my vaults.
Designed Video will definitely improve the teaching and learning in the classroom.
