2	Equipment Needed DV camcorder (miniDV is most common) Firewire port on computer and cord (to input digital video into computer) Video editing software iMovie (comes with Mac) Movie Maker (free download for Windows XP) Other software programs for purchase
3	Why Make Movies? Video provides a medium for students to voice their opinions in the classroom. Video is a medium that students feel comfortable with, they have grown up with television, and with a good media literacy program, the students can become producers rather than consumers of this form of communication. Students that may not normally speak up, can send their message through “actors” to participate in class.
4	Digital Natives Today’s College Graduates have: Spent 10,000 hours playing video games 20,000 hours watching TV Over 20,000 hours on the phone Only spent 5,000 hours reading 11,000 hours attending school
5	Uses for Digital Video To tell a story To teach a concept Community Connections (interviews, etc.) Highlights and Publicity (Share Student Successes!)
6	Learner’s Recollection 5% of the content of a lecture 10% of what we read 20% of content simultaneously using 2 or more media 50% of content that includes interactive discussion 75% of content that involves practicing by doing >90% that involves teaching or applied learning
7	If you are still not convinced… It helps teach product and process development that cuts across all curriculums It helps students understand CONTENT as well as CONTEXT to direct their “voice” in the classroom. The unmistakeable “WOW” factor - Hook our kids, show them that learning is fun, excite them.
