Seven Steps for Creating Videos In Your Classroom by Richard Byrne
1. Create - let the kids have a crack at making their videos. If some students have a nature inclined to planning first, let them. If others want to jump into the process right away, that's great too. When I make screencast videos I don't always plan them first, I just make them. If the first attempt doesn't result in a polished work, that's okay because now I know what I need to change for the next attempt.
2. Reflect - take a look at what was made. What is good about it? What needs to be changed?
3. Outline - create that outline or storyboard now that you know what to keep and what to change.
4. Create - this is the second attempt at the video.
5. Revise - take a look at what the second attempt at creation yielded. Revise the outline again for the next round of editing or re-shooting.
6. Create - this is the second round of editing or it could be a complete re-shoot of a video.
7. Share - when you're happy with your video (it may take many more rounds of steps 5 and 6) share it with the world. Share it on Next Vista for Learning, YouTube, your classroom blog, or anywhere else that there is a potential audience for your work.

Show YouTube videos full screen by copying the video's link from within the embed code, paste that link on a tab and video will play full screen with no sidebars, etc. |
