20 Video
Project Ideas To Engage Students
Ditch
That Textbook: 12.09.2019
Integrating video projects into the
classroom can be as simple or complex as you want. Cell phone cameras can shoot
high quality video and the webcam and microphone on laptops and Chromebooks
will record video quickly and easily.
Video projects equal instant engagement.
Students love to bring their own video project ideas to life. And when they get
to share their video projects with their peers, the interest skyrockets. That
power has huge potential to be harnessed for educational gain.
But you don’t even need to use a video
camera to create video projects! Lots of great, free web tools and apps let you
create flashy video with text, images and existing video. Many apps are built
to create fun videos that can demonstrate learning.
We have collected over 20 video project
ideas for you and your students. So just grab a phone, digital camera or tablet
and your students are on their way!
10 Video project ideas for (almost any
class):
1. Create a personal narrative
Everyone has a story, and when we share
our own experiences, they can be a motivating factor for others -- and help us
reflect on our lives and choices
2. Record interviews (in person or
virtually)
The people around us and around the world
are living history. Their experiences, information, and advice is a treasure
trove waiting to be mined.
3. Create a whiteboard animation
Set up something with a camera so it
won't move (on a tripod or otherwise). Aim it at a whiteboard or chalkboard.
10 video project ideas for specific
subject areas
1. Recreate a historic speech or moment
in history for a social studies class.
2. Display the work and results of a
science lab project from beginning to end, from hypothesis to conclusion. Add
images of lab data in the project to show specifics of the results.
3. Write and record poetry or short stories
that illustrate literary elements learned in an English class. Include Creative
Commons or public domain music that matches the mood of the written work. READ MORE ➤➤
