In your classroom

Use video and audio in Collaborative Online Projects

Jazz up your Collaborative Online Project with video to support students’ research and discussions. Upload demonstrations of their understandings and work for assessment. Visit the Collaborative Online Project area to learn how to participate or coordinate an online project.

Inspire, engage and challenge student thinking

Find a great CX media resource that intrigues and promotes questions and discussion. For example, the 1971 newsreel Army dogs sniff out mines raises a number of issues around safety and use of animals and how our army has changed over the years. Video and audio are wonderful resources for WebQuests and inquiry based research. Connect, and expose students to different forms of movie making so they can learn how to create effective film pieces. Create short instructional videos on concepts to support learning. These videos would be used by students to more deeply understand the concept.

In your workplace

Video and audio are powerful professional learning resources. Here are some ideas for your next PD project.

• Model best practice and review the video/audio in staff meetings, workshops and conferences.
• Include short apt video/audio on your school internet/intranet website.
• Download or link to latest podcasts of your favourite educational speaker.
