As I always say, I'm excited to do a vidcast. But I really am! I've always loved the affect a well made video set to powerful, influential music has on people. Technology is powerful. So is the music used.
We learned about vidcasts and the different programs we can use to create our little treasures this last week. Katie and I (my partner in crime) are hoping to make a statement with our vidcast. We have some exciting ideas! Hopefully we'll be able to make it happen! We're hoping to gather statistics, facts, pictures, video recordings, etc compile them together to show the importance of the arts (fine arts and performing arts) in our schools. Since our cooperating teacher isn't a music teacher (he's an art teacher) we thought we'd expand our ideas and apply his ideas with ours. Hopefully our creation is as good as we're anticipating!
I think having vidcasts is a great way to mix things up in a classroom. Student's get sick of the same old routine, day after day. I feel that way, anyway. Throwing information at them through different avenues helps refresh their minds. Using vidcasts is also a great way to make a point - in a few minutes - without being tuned out. After so much talking all I hear is, "Blah, blah, blah". I'm sure many others are the same way.
