Integrating video in the classroom
The Learning Centre has developed a number of innovative ways of integrating video editing into the classroom.
These projects use video as a tool to aid learning and teaching as a opposed to teaching the art of filmmaking. In these projects the video and graphics are typically created before hand and distributed to each pupil's computer. Each pupil will then use a varety of resources, both written and online, to research the project before using the video editing software to assemble the video, graphics and audio in to one complete piece of work.
The finished article can be viewed as a documentary, including the pupil's own voice over.
