The possibilities in writing with media are endless. It is almost overwhelming to think of where to begin. Every part of history is available to us via video. We can give our students the ability and free reign to be creative. To express themselves and what they have learned in a video collaboration.
I can't even imagine the many different interpretations that a teacher would get back from her students on one simple topic of discussion. Students today are very interested in media in any form. I think that this is a way of holding their attention and keeping their interest. They will certainly learn so much more if they are an active participant in the collaboration of information and not just memorizing for a written fill in the blank test.

I think it looks better to have a button that is not the URL. Just my opinion. Try it yourself and see.
ReplyDeleteI agree Stephanie. Being an active participant helps anyone to learn better. People learn by doing, and it becomes second nature. I will say that it is difficult that this is the only thing that holds a child's attention, technology!!!
