My first educational movie

I am proud of my first movie. I know that it is far from being the best one that anyone will see but I am just happy I can make a movie. I first used movie maker for the first time only two weeks ago. It took me a long time to figure out how to get the F=ma in the right position. Editing is definitely a frustrating process but in the end it is worth it. I will definitely be using this video in my own classroom.

Video Review 3- Electrical Circuits Voltage by Rebecca Jensen

I really liked this video. Students are always having trouble understanding voltage and she uses some really good analogies to teach them. The video is simple, which is good because the topic is difficult and the viewer needs to concentrate on what she is saying.

Video Review 2- Rainbows by Chris Beall

I thought this video did a good job of explaining how rainbows exist. The author made sure to repeat himself several times to get the point across. I would have liked if he showed more pictures of rainbows. His voice was clear and concise and overall I think it was a well made video.

Education and Technology

Ah this is a little embarrassing.

Educational Video Outline

1. Opening title: Exploring Newton's Second Law
2. Show a foam ball and a bowling ball.
3. Explain that I will hit each ball with a ruler as hard as I can.
4. Hit each ball.
5. Discuss the outcome of the demonstration.
6. Show Newton's second law, making an emphasis on the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. Show this by making each symbol a different size.

Video Review 1- Newton's 1st Law and Eggs

I loved this video! This is definitely something that I will show my class in the future. I really liked that the teacher tied Newton's law, and what he was saying about the eggs, into the viewers life. He did this by comparing the eggs to passengers in a car that wear and seatbelt and those that do not.
