Our EDCI 336 class on October 19th was largely about educational videos. The different types of videos used for education, how to screencast, and how to upload a video to YouTube.

Some forms of educational videos include:

  • Recorded lectures
  • Screencasts of lessons, or how-to’s
  • Talking head videos
  • Presentations
  • Interviews

We were introduced to the screen recording tool, Screencast-O-Matic, and shown how to download it for our own personal use. I have not had a chance to test it out, but I do plan on using it for part of my Free Inquiry project, and for an inquiry presentation in another class.

I did however make great use of the YouTube tutorial! Seeing how videos can be uploaded, and made to be unlisted, was quite helpful for a recent assignment in EDCI 300. I used the YouTube tutorial, as well as my new video editing program, DaVinci Resolve, to make and share a video of myself solving a problem using manipulatives.

The problem went something like this:

There are golf carts with three wheels, and there are golf carts with four wheels. All together there are 25 wheels. How many three-wheeled golf carts are there, and how many four-wheeled golf carts are there?

Here is my YouTube video of one of my strategies that I used to solve the problem (guess and check using manipulatives):

 

 

Overall, I’ve found all the concepts and information covered in this recent class to be helpful and informative! I look forward to seeing what new programs we will be learning about next class.
