Video

I found making a video a tricky to start with but once I got into it, it got easier. I did find making a video very time consuming, getting the video and audio lining up took a fair while.

Positive	Minus	Interesting
-         Again easy to make and use once you know the commands and what you can do -          Can be made just from pictures and audio -          Very creativity and fun to make -          The graphic interface was user friendly -          Could start and stop without having to take big steps	Takes a while to get used to the buttons and commands           Takes a long time to line up the audio files and video files if you have recorded them at the same time	Windows live movie maker isn’t the only software at there to help make videos         Sounds daunting to start with but  overall it is fairly simiple

I think I could use a video in both learning areas that I teach, Maths and Manual Arts. with maths I could get the students to make a video on "maths in real life" for example using maths and shops or on a building site. I could also make more videos like the  one I made about the area of the circle, plus i could get the students to make something similar to what I made as assessment item to prove that they know what they are talking about.
In Manual arts the senior students have to make a journal about their projects that they build, in this case they could do a video journal and/or I could make a video for students to see what they are in for before they start building their projects. One of the main reasons that I would change from what the students normally do would be be because it would be more fun and more engaging for the students to use this technology.

Here is my video that I made
