What a great way to end the class. Working in groups, we had to come up with a brief, i.e. 1-2 minute video that demonstrated one of the concepts from our ED3508 class. There were some very creative ways that the messages were presented and this showed how effective and powerful video can be as a learning tool. It worked well for me as a visual learner, but at the same time, I didn't so very much for the exercise outside of class time, and this will be something to consider when using the idea in the future. It does have to potential to be a great learning tool, if setup properly with clear expectations and designed for the right age group. I can see it being a challenge among younger age groups, particularly in the elementary level, but could still be possible with proper guidance. It might provide some insight into the role the teacher plays and the work involved in preparing for and delivering lessons.
It can also be used as an assessment tool to identify how well learning has taken place, as well as offering a different type of learning. apart from the more typical sitting in a class. I don't think that this is fully ready to take on a greater level of importance in the classroom. I believe that it is worthwhile, but will need added care and attention to ensure that it is effective for learning.
