Instructional Video

Assignment Title: Instructional Video

Uses in the Classroom: Students will use Windows Movie Maker or screencasting software, like Screencast-O-Matic or Jing, to design and create an instructional video which will focus on basic theater elements to teach their fellow drama classmates. Once their topic has been selected and approved, students will need to map out the procedures and content of the video to ensure that they use correct theater terminology and format.  Students will present their video to the rest of the class.

Issues to Consider:  Since this assignment requires that students use Microsoft Movie Maker or screencasting software, then students need to have access to computers and internet connect.  In addition, will need access to microphones.  Classroom noise environment and the effects that it may have on the students videos need to be considered. The speed of the internet will also need to be considered when students present their instructional video to the rest of the class. Students will need to be familiar with Microsoft Movie Maker or screencasting software as well.  Access to a computer and the internet outside of the classroom should also be taken into consideration.
