Digital video

This video I embedded from Youtube and it shows you how to use windows Movie Maker



Here is a SWOT analysis of digital video:

Strengths:
- Fun way for learners to show what they know about a particular topic.
- Easy to make
- Can be made using a video camera or through the use of still images (or photographs) imported into a program such as Windows Movie Maker
- Great assessment tool. It involves learners demonstrating content knowledge as well as ICT competencies/skills
- Can be constructed as a group (promoting collaborative learning)
- Contains a mixture of sounds and images.

Weaknesses:
- May be time consuming to create
- Referencing and plagiarism need to be discussed with learners before the commencement of creating a digital video.

Opportunities:
- Can allow learners to express themselves creatively
- Can be created on practically any topic

Threats:
- Students may spend more time playing with the movie effects than focusing on the content to put in the video.

Below is a quick movie that I created using Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft PowerPoint:
