Blog 5

Today our class was treated to a presentation from David Walker, an instructional videography specialist from the Innovation in Learning Center at USA. Walker gave helpful tips to improve the quality of video projects using the iPhone. He gave us basic advice, like filming with the phone oriented horizontally or allotting more time to a project than you initially expect. He also recommended several tools, such as mics, lenses, tripods, and lighting. Walker explained key concepts in video, such as rule-of-thirds and nose room. He also stressed the impact of audio in our projects and recommended Audacity, a free audio editing program. This presentation was extremely helpful and will certainly improve the quality of our video projects.
                It is important as a future educator to improve my ability to produce quality video projects. Video is a useful tool enabling educators to reach students in ways that traditional lectures can’t. The role technology plays in the classroom will continue to increase in importance. The advantages of incorporating technology seem too obvious to ignore. As future educators, we must be prepared to utilize this technology influx to benefit our students.
