This week I have also created a short movie using images from my rugby grand final a couple of years ago. I found it easiest to upload the video to Youtube first then embed it into this post. Here it is !!
Video is definitely a great tool for learning. It can be used in a number of different ways including for communication, observation and analysis and reflection (Fasso, 2013). I remember using video analysis in Year 12 HPE a few years ago. The sport for the particular term was golf and for one of our assignments the teacher took video footage of each student completing a golf swing. We were then able to slow down and pause footage and for the assignment we had to describe the biomechanics and technical flaws in our swing. This sort of analysis is something that can only be acheived by using video and I think this is particularly useful in a subject like HPE. Video is very engaging and exciting for students and could be used from primary school right through to Year 12 students. One thing that teachers would need to be aware of is privacy of students and parental permission would need to be obtained especially if videos are to be shown to a large audience or uploaded onto the Internet.
Windows Movie Maker is a good program for creating videos as it allows you to use a variety of animations and visual effects. In my video I used only still images but you can also add video recordings and voice over. I actually enjoyed myself using Movie Maker, it was quite easy to use and I feel that it could be of great value to our learners.
