Hey everyone! I'm super excited about this weeks "Art Tech Task", because this week was our video assignment. Making videos used to really intimidate me, simply because I was unfamiliar with how to make and upload them! Which now, seems pretty silly. I chose to use YouTube for it is the absolute easiest way to make, publish, and share your videos. This is now the third time I have taken advantage of this site for educational purposes and the videos always come out great. And fast! YouTube is a video sharing website filled with millions of videos about millions of different topics. I would argue the most popular stream on this site is music, but there is also a wonderful array of helpful educational videos. I have used this website for almost 10 years for all kinds of purposes.
I think this tool would be awesome for creating integrated arts activities in the classroom. Film is a type of art, and an assignment such as the one I have done above would be great for assessing a students knowledge over a specific content area. Students could also you this site to make up educational songs or sing-alongs. Showing creativity through music would give students a wonderful opportunity to express themselves. Other purposes as to why an educator would want to use YouTube in their classroom include:
- pairing a video with a lesson plan to help further explain the content area or reinforce what was talked about
- receive a different perspective on a subject area by hearing another's opinion
- listen to an educational songs to help with visualization/memorization
- digital stories
- find a tutorial on how to do literally ANYTHING
- record and upload a lesson if you as an educator know you are going to be absent, that way your students can still get the information they need
Furthermore, students could definitely use YouTube to create their own digital artifacts. For me, I took a video straight off of my laptop using the built-in camera, and from there went onto to the site and click "upload". And within a matter of minutes, it was fully uploaded and ready to be viewed. SUPER EASY. The only catch is, a user needs an account. It is completely free to use, but the site will need your name and an email. It is easy for anyone, because the upload button is located in the right upper corner, totally visible. You can upload any video within your computer's file folders. And music too! I really don't think any part of this would be challenging, unless a student tried to upload music that required a copyright code. Then, they would need to know what information to put in the credits so the site runners don't take their video down.
I love YouTube for all of my video needs!!
Lastly, I'd just like to point out some of the standards, for particularly kindergarten (my main focus) that would align with presenting a video such as this one to a class.
Speaking and listening kindergarten Ohio standards:
SL.K.1. Participate in collaborative conversations with diverse partners about kindergarten topics and texts with peers and adults in small and larger groups. a.
