Video

I have to say that I really like the idea of using video in the classroom. The ideas that jumped out at me was the idea of this demystifying actors and actresses. I teach 5th grade and I think this is an age when kids start to idolizing people in films and television, they don't realize that the people they see are not perfect, and should not be their idols. Anyways... I think I would have the students making films, more than I would be making ones for them to watch. I think a great idea would be to have the students tape little lessons which could then be shown to younger students at the school, thus making what they are doing real.
