We had three hours to complete the filming and convert them from mp4 to wmv files.
We tried using the "zamzar" website to convert the files. However, after an hour of converting the files we realised that they were all corrupted. So we had to find another website to convert the files. We eventually found convert files.
If this task was ever done in class then it would require a lot of preparation and organisation before hand. The teacher would have to have tested the online converters to make sure that the children weren't wasting their time on converting files that didn't work. It would be a huge job for the teachers but the teacher could convert all of the clips another time so that it didn't take up class time. Also the organisation would be very important because if not explained well and worked through thoroughly, the children may get confused and the task could take far longer than planned. This task for children would be a fairly big task that would be completed over several lessons. We are adding the voice overs and editing the Movie on Monday.
When reflecting on the task try to look at ways in which you could use the resources in class. What areas of the curriculum might be enhanced through using movies?
ReplyDeleteMovies can be used in a variety of ways in the classroom. They can be used as a demonstration, like our movie which was a demonstration of how to make a smoothie, also you can use it as a tool for the children to show was they have researched for example a small documentary, or you can document some of the children's work e.g their role play.
ReplyDeleteI also feel that using movies in the classroom enhances the learning because it is engaging and allows children to learn in a new way, rather than the traditional way e.g an essay.
