As I am wandering through the video websites, I am exhilarated and overwhelmed at the same time. I often think I am overstimulated as I am experiencing all of these web tools. I try to look at as much as I can and try them out....I find that two to four hours can transpire while I am perusing the content of this course without much for an output.
I think I am figuring out what the tags and embedding mean. I have tried to link things and embed them, but I have not gotten things to work. I will continue to do so I hopefully can get something to work this weekend. :)
I have used video clips in my classes to discuss and connect current real world science. I can definitely see a purpose for demonstrating labs before we do them or labs that we do not have the equipment to execute the lab. I am wondering if time will be a limiting factor in my ability to use a lot of these videos right away. I am thinking all of these tools are a dynamic process and when I have a few minutes here and there, I will have to work on new videos. I also think that I will have to learn how to use these tools to dazzle my administrators so I can ask for video equipment so my kids can make them too.
I am very appreciative of the text for giving us websites to search for video clips....I am looking forward to viewing them all too.
It is hot and humid in north central ND....working inside is a blessing this evening. How is weather where all of you are tonight?
