Free Technology for Teachers: Making Videos on the Web - Updated for 2011

Okay, Free Technology for Teachers is making a major appearance today! I really needed to feature this blog because of the tools and the ebook. Video making has always been a really great way to engage students. Even in the long ago dark ages when I was in middle school we used video to present and idea about current events and we were so into it. At that time we could not even approach the creativity today's students have. We could use a piece of video and add audio over it with a record player. We could do a limited amount with the tools available and even then it was very engaging. Using video to help students present ideas an opinions often gives them added motivation to express themselves. It is a lot of work but with the tools presented in blogs like the one featured here you can help your students become film makers and free yourself up from reading endless essays!!!
