Videos!


This blog post is coming a little late, but up until yesterday, I was still searching for something to write about! My inspiration did however come to me, in the form of my experience at Butler Tech!

For my one-on-one time with students, I visited the Communications and Broadcasting department. It was such a neat experience, especailly considering that we had just talked in class about video production for our Virtual Field Trip assignment.

I was with a student named Katy who helped me to make my very own DVD! It was really exciting, yet very complicated, but Katy made it all look like a piece of cake!

She set up all the cameras and equipement in the studio and we did a little blurp interview. We then took that footage and uploaded it to the computer for editing and constructing the video. It all happened so fast that I can't remember the exact names of the programs we used, but one of those programs was Final Cut, which Adam had mentioned briefly.

How much this techniques could actaully be implemented in the ag ed classroom, I'm not sure, but my thought was to allow students to create their own recruitment video for 8th graders. What better way to recruit students then with a video created by students for students?!
