Common Craft-like videos for students to make
July 25, 2008
I’ve done a cursory web-search and I’m n ot seeing much. I love the simple flow of these video tutorials – and the hand-drawn images that get moved around on the white screen (by real hands!) So I’m trying to think of which method would suit what purpose:
IWB recording of a student drawing (and speaking? or do you have to add speech later?)
simpler – a white dry-erase board on a desk with a digital camera nearby
and the topics:
how to find a book
what an OPAC is
what are the subgenres of folktales
Hey, join in my think-aloud if you have any ideas!

Hey There
This is a follow up to a question you asked me earlier this week. I think this would be a great way to intro these subjects on your newly created am announcements. You could assign a topic to a few students to write, produce, record and then show it on the program during the week. The students creating the movies would learn a lot in the process of creating the movies, and students watching would be interested in seeing the student created movies and learn something as well. Sounds like a win, win situation to me. On another note, your students could create these short movies to celebrate birthdays, special events in the school, the pledge of allegiance, weather, etc on your morning announcements show.

Brilliant! I absolutely love this idea. And I think we are getting some Flip cameras, which the students would find easy to use. And – more of the win-win- i could post them on the the school website too, since there would be no faces! I will try this during the teacher workweek before school starts and email you a sample. Thanks SO MUCH!
