Very interesting! I definitely believe that the educational media environment needs to be expanded.

Making a video is MOST CERTAINLY a writing skill! If you know anything about writing you'll want to teach a student to plan their "essay" by using thought maps and then translate that to an outline. You might even want them to write a more thorough outline with actual phrases and sentences they'll be using. They'll organize these thoughts into a clear order with a clear beginning and clear end. Then you will want them to write a first draft. Then rewrite. Then have someone else read for problems and mistakes, take notes, and rewrite. If you are a teach concerned with how they write then you will want to grade them on it, give it back, and have them rewrite again. Then maybe they are done.



Making a quality video would call all that pre-production. Maybe they'll skip the actual typing of the script because they may not need it yet, but the organizing is still there. But oh, wait! They'll also need to think about how that outline will translate into concrete images and view it objectively from an audience perspective. This will require even more thought, processing, and even HIGHER order thinking skills than writing.



After they've come up with a storyboard (an outline in picture form - we are still in preproduction here) they'll need to translate drawings into live still or moving pictures and understand how one picture will juxtapose with the next ON TOP OF the words or music they'll written or at least planned.



They might enjoy all of that so watch out. You'll want them to review what they shot and then edit out a lot so it stays organized and adhears to their outline and script. !!!Be aware! This is also fun and something that they'll be engaged in and you won't be doing anything with technology yourself. After they edit they might have a peer review and go back to edit.



Then you'll have to grade them. Be sure to knock them down a letter grade if they are having fun - even if their thoughts are organized just like their essay they would have written.

I would like to have paid attention better but the outrageous talking-with-the-hands thing was highly distracting, as was the quick switching back and forth of multiple screens on one page at a time. Forgive us older folks for not being able to keep up with your younger speed-needs. Anyway, do they have any idea how much more work is involved in preparing lessons that use web, audio, and video regularly? We already don't get paid our worth for what we are currently doing. They should become teachers and turn it around themselves. Then they'd see where we are coming from and how hard it is teaching these always-bored kids.

maybe you should turn it around and sit in a classroom where the teacher only uses sign language. Your students are not just simply bored, our language has evolved.

Some of the greatest thinkers produced great works without video, audio, and movies. If you want to be a film maker, then make films. Education is using your mind to express a thought. Socrates, Plato, Descartes, Newton, Einstein all expressed themselves without "technology". Todays students seem to be saying BOO HOO! I want school to be a video game and I want it my way! I will listen to you if you have something important to say. If you have to have a dog and pony show to impress me, then you have thoughts that do not impact life. The Gettysburg Address was written on the back of an envelope. Socrates taught under a tree. Stop your whining and realize that very few jobs will require you to do a movie for your job. I think its a shallow arguement made by shallow thinkers.

Oh, and by the way, some of our greatest thinkers do use the technology available to them. In fact, our greatest thinkers today present with PowerPoint, Keynote, and -yes- movies. Give me a name of a great thinker alive today that doesn't use that and you'll give me a name that either is unheard of (meaning useless if no one is listening) or has the luxury of position (such as the president).

This is an extremely frustrating argument. Shallow thinkers? They are expressing first hand THEIR OWN experience! I'm pretty sure Socrates taught in a language that is dead - and then someone else wrote it down. I'm pretty sure that's been translated over and over into the language that we can now understand so that we can digest it. Because we communicate differently now, our language has evolved into one that REQUIRES visuals. We are no longer engaged by only speaking (something that was engaging a thousand years ago). And ACTUALLY very few jobs require that you simply talk or write a paragraph. If you want to succeed in business, you better know at least PowerPoint. If you want to just APPLY for a most jobs you better know how to use a mouse and for any professional job you better know how to save something as a .pdf and then attach it to an email. The Gettysburg address was riveting because it was from the President about a catastrophic event that a large part of the audience had witnessed first hand. We're rivetted now only because it is still so engrained in our society's history.

I totally agree. My students are the same way. Writing a paper can't be replaced by making a movie - they still aren't using their writing skills with that. They won't get hired in these "high-tech" jobs if they can't even write properly.

I disagree with your view on this issue. Our world is transforming and technology is becoming an ever increasing part of life. As educators, it is our duty and responsibility to adapt and prepare our students for their future. I am an adult student, working toward my degree in education after a fulfilling career in a public service industry. Luckily, I attend a highly respected university, where they understand the role of technology in education and are giving me the tools I need to be successful in integrating technology into my teaching style. Think about your own experiences ... Do you learn more through engaging, exploring and interacting, or by sitting and listening to a lecture? The classrooms of the future will be student-centered, not teacher-centered. This transition is already beginning to occur around the world, so you may want to consider learning more about the new age of education before you condemn it.

Thank you for posting this video. It is a contemporary example of college students' dissonance with current teaching methodology.

One of the biggest problems with education is illiteracy... kids have poor reading and writing skills. Teachers who lower their standards and allow students to do a video instead of a written report are playing into that problem and not doing the students any favors. We are competing in a global economy and colleges teach students discipline, persistence, and how to think, on top of the skills. College is NOT all about lectures as this video would have you believe. Lectures are a necessary part of college, but there are in fact hands on labs, projects, etc that give students hands on skills. I think this video is misleading a simply a justification for students who can’t hack it, or simply don’t want to do what it takes for that degree.

It is not a matter of just using videos. Teachers need to engage the students through technology to enhance the learning experience. Writing and reading skills can go hand-in-hand with the use of technology ... ie blogs, discussion boards, research, etc. It is up to us as educators to determine the most effective methods to integrate technology into the educational process.
