wk 3 blog of useful content

Hats off to my classmates! I only pasted here for my own self resources...

Filmriot
http://revision3.com/filmriot/
This is a very funny, yet brilliant look at how to make videos and digital storytelling. It gives great tips on lighting, effects and other techniques used by the pros. It also has some connection to Full Sail as they often interview people on campus.

NASA Edge
http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/podcasting/nasaedge/index.html
This is also very amusing, but this time it is a look at the space program. The hosts ask questions of NASA engineers and contractors on how things work, what are they trying to discover and other questions that students would ask about space and the space program

How Stuff Works – The Stuff of Genius
http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/stuff-of-genius-podcast.htm
This Vodcast takes the idea of how something works and adds the history behind it as well. The graphics are often simple, yet amusing cartoonish representations that would entertain any student. Great for history, science or leadership and marketing.

Nova Vodcast
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/rss/podcasting.html
Choose from the array of Nova broadcasting that is on PBS and receive a vodcast from Nova shows, reports from the field or other interesting facts in science, technology and daily life. I watched a show about hybrid vehicles that are being built by students

CNN Student News
http://www.cnn.com/studentnews/
A great way to bring current events into the classroom. Most students are not aware of what is going on in the world and often just do not care. This 10 minute daily program give the top stories short and fast and has resources like online quizzes and other materials to make the stories of the week pertinent to the student.

I have been using Lynda.com for the past two years, and I love it. They continuously update their videos to cover the latest and newest applications/technology. I do not think there is better and more comfortable way to learn than watching an educational video tutorial, presented by professional instructors, from any place and at any time. I also use the following web site were they offer educational and informational videos in my learning and teaching:

http://www.ted.com/
TED is one of my favorite sites as it offers video the tackle and discusses popular issues. My favorite video/speech by Steve Jobs urges students to pursue their dreams and see the opportunities in life's setbacks.
http://www.ted.com/talks/steve_jobs_how_to_live_before_you_die.html

http://vodpod.com/tech
This is a good tutorial on how to create a rollover effects in Adobe Dreamweaver presented in an easy step-by-step manner.
http://vodpod.com/watch/2787657-dreamweaver-tutorial-how-to-create-a-mouse-over-effect-with-dreamweaver

http://www.howcast.com/
This is a great video tutorial showing how to create a web site using Adobe Flash.
http://www.howcast.com/videos/218247-How-To-Create-an-Adobe-Flash-Web-Site

http://www.ehow.com/videos.html
The How to Video tutorials covers different subjects, and offers simple and practical solutions to over come common issues. For example, this tutorial shows to how to install free blogger templates.

Week 3 topic 3: Deep

Screen print
http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2007/05/learn_to_screenprint_your_1.html

I recently set up a screen for so the students in the Technology club could print their own shirts. When I first brought up the project idea, I had a student ask me if this was a new way of printing shirts and if there were any laser beams involved in the “burning” process. I could not believe they had never heard of this process, this video here is what I showed them before we printed, and they loved the way the shirts turned out (and I loved the price).

http://www.49sparks.com/podcast&search=graphic+design&tags=l

This is a great source for design industry video podcasts. You are able to filter through key terms such as typography, industry buzz, and software. Very cool site.

http://creativesuitepodcast.com/

Adobe programs are the leader in design, and this site offers video podcasts on CS4 program skills, tools and functions. The fold right install walk through was recently used for a students desire to print a 4 fold brochure. I plan on using this site much more in the future.

http://www.photoshopforvideo.com/
This site is much like the previous one in that it provides video tutorials of program functions, except that this one focuses only on Photoshop. This is great for my class since a major section of the course is on this program.

Topic 3
A lot of the topics I teach my consumer kids are pretty straight forward, however there are some that the students don’t seem to understand the severity of or can even begin to comprehend what is going on. I have found some great videos that I have used this year and they have seemed to have a huge impact…

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/meltdown/view/
Inside the meltdown takes a look at the current state of the economy and what led us to where we are currently. Although it takes a few minutes for the students to get past the fact that it isn’t a comedy or a cartoon, they actually have really appreciated the message. There has been a lot of hype from the students about this movie and how excellent it was.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/tentrillion/view/
Ten Trillion and Counting is another great video that explains what is going on currently in the economy. This PBS video is about the National Debt and explains both Bush and Obama’s policies. A lot of students in my classes don’t understand how bad the economy was when Obama took over and this video does an excellent job of explaining this to them.

http://www.crisisofcredit.com/
The crisis of Credit is an excellent short 10 minute clip that wonderfully depicts the credit crisis. Using graphics and sound effects the creator brilliantly explains what happened to the house market and makes it easier for students to understand why loans are so hard to come by in today’s economy.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wqFoxYxYjs
Return to Mocha is broken up into three parts into YouTube. This is a definite oldie, but a goodie. This short film takes a look at three different types of economies and helps students realize how the economies work. It is also very beneficial because it allows them to see how the different types of economies react and work together. My school used to have this on tape, I was very happy to find it online.

Violins & Orchestra Instruments : How to Make a Stringed Instrument

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ia8rAeF3a9c
My beginning students are very fascinated with how instruments are made. They do not realize what a complex process it is. This video shows the process and all of the steps involved. This video teaches what I cannot. I do not have knowledge about making instruments, and this video provides the tools so my students can learn about that aspect of music.

Philharmonic Orchestra Video Podcasts
www.philharmonia.co.uk/thesoundexchange/projects/podcasts/podcast.xml
This site contains links to different video podcasts of various performances of music. It includes interviews with the musicians and conductors, as well as clips of performances. This is a valuable teaching tool as far as looking into musicians of today and learning a bit more about music history.

Syracuse Symphony Youth String Orchestra March 14, 2010

http://blip.tv/file/3344853/
I would use this video with my younger students. Many times they have never seen a live performance, and we cannot go see one. This is a live performance, and gives them a chance to observe how everything works within the orchestra.

#6 Music theory: Interval Music theory
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFQ0wpSU9_g

This is a lesson on intervals of music. The instructor has other lessons available as well. He explains the interval, and then also demonstrates on the piano. This would be helpful to send home as an assignment with students to reinforce what I am teaching them in music theory.

I believe that exposing students to the world is valuable in and out of our specific curriculum areas. Here a a few videos and other media that I have found inspiring or useful related to teaching and learning, but also just to connect us to the global community.

1. Voicethread was one of the first little tech tools that I tried that I thought was fun, easy to use, and that my students would enjoy learning within. A few have tried the process, and I hope to use it to post work for my AP students as well. Here is one that I created as a demo.

https://ed.voicethread.com/?#u377561.b551902.i2952077

2 & 3. Here are a couple of inspirational videos that I have run across about the importance of the arts in education today from both the students’ point of view and the teacher's. I strongly feel that as educators, if we were to always remember that we are teaching because our students want to learn, we would do a better job to facilitate their learning. Feeding their souls is a big job, but I love doing it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuZEurspK-E&feature=player_embedded

http://pecha-kucha.org/presentations/40 This presentation was presented by Kaden Cowan at Tokyo #67 and is shared on one of my favorite sites, Artjunction which can be found online at http://www.artjunction.org/index.php

4 & 5. Here are two more that you can check out often for a visual treat. All of you that love the New Yorker will enjoy Jorge Columbo’s weekly sketches at http://link.brightcove.com/services/player/bcpid10282412001?bctid=71627583001 where he uses “brushes” an iphone application.This is entertaining and inspiring. I do not have an iphone, but I would love to try this.

and a truly global collaboration in the truest visual sense Planetfesto at http://planetfesto.org/ where each of you can add your part of the ribbon.

All of the following podcasts can be found in iTunes.

Podcast #1: Fast Company
Fast Company covers innovation, ethnomics, gadgets and tips on how to work better. Since I teach Business classes this is something that I could use on a weekly basis with my students in almost all of my classes. The real purpose that I would like to use these podcasts because they are about current issues and technological advances in the business world. This particular series of podcasts have 30 second podcasts that would be really great conversation starters.

Podcast #2: Photoshop Killer Tips
This podcast series is about giving Photoshop tips and tricks to their subscribers. I teach graphic design and desktop publishing so these would be great to incorporate into my daily lesson plans. One way that I could use these would be to have the students watch one podcast a day. The podcasts consist of tips, shortcuts, workarounds, and undocumented tricks. The great thing about these podcasts is that they are all really short, but I think over time the students will learn at an advanced pace instead of waiting for me.

Podcast #3: Find Out How - iMovie ’09
This series is put together by Apple Computer. The goal is to teach how to create and distribute movies through iMovie. This series even goes over tips on how to shoot quality video. This is a very simple but effective series because they boast great content in a short amount of time. I would recommend this series to any teacher that has thought about using podcasting in their classroom. This could also be used to teach students how to create movies as well. The resources used are from the iLife suite.

Podcast #4: D-Town TV
This podcast series is for students in my desktop publishing class who really desire to take great photos. I have found that due to the rise of podcast that there are really great free tutorials and podcasts such as this one to teach some that that takes hands-on learning. What I like about the podcast idea for photography is that the learner can learn at their own pace. The episodes are rather lengthy but they offer great advice and depth to what they teach.

The alphabet is practiced while presenting word pronunciation modeling the use of each letter of the alphabet. This can be used to present to a first year of Spanish students because models the pronunciations used in Spain, which varies from Spanish used in the rest of the world. Is important to point differences in the various types of Spanish used in the world at the beginning of the course to create a solid knowledge of facts about the Spanish speaking countries. (Many persons do not see beyond Mexico for Spanish countries).

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WysaHvN8zJI
Like in other languages, Spanish has verbs and they obey certain rules that makes the conjugation a bit complicated specially fro English native speakers. This video demonstrates the conjugations and the show the types of verbs in Spanish for regular verbs. Useful to review the contents of many lessons in the first year of Spanish classes.

Anderson Cooper 360 cast cast in iTunes
I enjoy this video cast in a regular basis because I can watch it without being in front of the TV. Also, I can continue working when a segment that does not interest me is shown by skipping it. There are many news video casts like this one and no commercials is a big part of choosing this video cast.

National Geographic Dangerous Encounters video cast in iTunes
Descriptive and vivid presentations of various themed explorations around the globe. I enjoy every now and then watching a new episode with different animals and learn something about them.

The resources this group finds constantly amaze me. There are some excellent vodcasts here that will be fun to use in class next block.
Fred I am very excited to try to design industry vodcast to see what tips, tools and gossip is going on.
Rebbie – I had not found that resource for Internet safety. Since it is part of my project I thank you for another great resource
Elyse – I often love to start class with a piece of music, especially one that fits into the time or reference of what we are studying. The Philharmonic Orchestra vodcast sounds like it could be a great reference to that point.

As always, I love this team and the things that we discover and accomplish. I am going to miss this connection dearly in a few months.

Acceptable.TV Tutorials: You can only find these on iTunes for free, or hunting them one at a time on Revver.com. Jack Black is an inspiring, if not always an enlightening, teacher on making cheap short films . . . for a failed TV show in VH1.
http://revver.com/video/203756/story-structure-tutorial/

Video Copilot After Effects Basic Training: The site gives you access to more advanced training, but the basic training will get any novice started on the right track.
http://www.videocopilot.net/basic/

Hot for Words: Great for adult male students trying to learn English as a second language. Probably not good for a younger audience.
http://www.hotforwords.com/

Digital Juice – Take 5: More great tutorials on video production. They break them down into 5 tips each episode. Makes them easy for students to digest.
http://www.digitaljuice.com/djtv/default.asp?searchid=97112

D. Eric Franks knows media technology. And he’s got some great videos to teach you it. Great for if you need to explain how interlacing works on a tube television.
http://videopia.org/index.php/watch/training.html

Assignment Detroit: This is a great example of how video production can assist in helping a community reach out to the world. I had hoped students would see ways they could explain the problems of their own community and use participatory video for community engagement in the same manner.
http://money.cnn.com/video/features/assignment_detroit/

PBS point of view: More great videos for students to watch and see how different points of view are conveyed using video. But more than that they have videos for use in education with lesson plans attached!

Well, I am glad to see some of the best of the best represented here with TED Talks and Common Craft. I will add some harder to find videos that I find equally good.

http://whipplehill.com/news/podcasts/clayshirky.aspx
In this video Clay Shirky talks about how the Internet has made group action so much more powerful. Plus – he is engaging to listen to. This video is a long one, about an hour, so get comfy.

http://whipplehill.com/news/podcasts/jonathanharris.aspx
I know I have suggested Jonathan Harris and his digital storytelling skills before, but in this video you catch some things that you might not get in his TED Talks. I simply love his work and his mind. He has influenced more teachers than I ever can hope to reach.

Best use of YouTube to learn:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JuFsDN8dsJU

Sometimes we need to teach kids how to ask the right questions. Brilliant.
@Richard - I agree. This is a great list forming here. I am bookmarking these!

These are all videos that I use in my choir class. As a trumpet player who teaches choir, I do not possess the advanced vocal technique that vocalists possess. So from day one teaching choir, I have spent a great deal of time trying to find videos to show my choir and myself how to sing better and improve the voice. All of these vocalists have a series of videos that teach vocal improvement that I have used or plan on using.

All 4 of the video podcast can be found on iTunes:
1. Mad Money with Jim Cramer.
Jim Cramer takes viewers inside the mind of one of Wall Street's most respected and successful money managers. He guides you through the confusing investing and walks through the opportunities and pitfalls to help save you money.

2. Adobe Creative Suite Video podcast
Takes you through tips and tutorials in regards to Adobe software. Unlock the power with visual examples for those who have a passion for Photoshop.

3. Fox News Flash
I am an avid fan of Fox news and these video podcasts can allow me to catch up on news flashes that important information of the day with a slight conservative approach.

4. TEDTalks (hd)
Some of the most fascinating people are on TED talks video podcasts in i Tunes and all are free videos for easy download. Great, entertaining presentations

I SIMPLY LOVE NPR!

Although a radio station...

Don't discount this as just being a Radio Station lacking in the Multimdeia arena. It in fact, ushers in the technologies of art, education, music and well as topics and issues affecting our lives. It then provides the links, URL and/or video location one one to access a more in depth understanding of the subjects and stories covered during their air time.

Though not technically a video podcast I still want to list this site for the communication possibilities it provides. My sister currently uses it to teach her little boy two or three sign language words a week.

Two or three words may not sound like much until you realize that:
1. My sister doesn't know sign language and is learning it also
2. My nephew is only 16 months old
3. He is already communicating exactly what he wants with sign and words. In some cases, he communicates better with sign than words: He can say and sign the generic word "drink"; but he can sign "milk" when that is what he really wants.

Anyway, a fantastic resource for students interacting with the deaf or for those, like my sister, who just enjoy many forms of communication:

DragonflyTV is a video podcast that explores science alongside kids. A particularly interesting episode to me is that which looks at the bacteria killing properties of silver; something I never knew about until researching for a replacement clothes washer last year.
http://pbskids.org/dragonflytv/rss/DragonFlyTV_rss.xml


Back to communications and toddlers - this PBS offering only has two episodes but each are geared to helping 3 to 6 year-olds learn how to read.
http://feeds.pbs.org/pbskids/superwhy-video


My last offing is not for an individual broadcast. However, this site offers an abundance of free children's audio and video podcasts in various subject areas.

I tend to like using videos as a means of inspiration and challenge students to think outside the box.

1) Lynda.com Creative Inspirations
http://www.lynda.com/home/ViewCourses.aspx?lpk0=320
This is my favorite set of videos from the site. If you've never checked out the series before the videos are all about an industry leader talking about their design process. They're a fascinating way to look at how other people solve creative problems. The Duarte Design set is my current favorite, but they're all quite facinating.

2) Apple Mac Music Video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kxDxLAjkO8
I bumped into this by accident and love it. It's the most creative way I've ever seen of quickly promoting what you can do with a Mac. It's also good inspiration for art/video students about using unexpected technologies to create a movie.

3) The Power Gap
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tkjz5JMCU1A&feature=player_embedded
I posted this awhile back on Facebook. It's my gold standard now for how clear and concise information should be delivered. It boils down the idea of distribution of power throughout history in three minutes without dumbing anything down. From a teaching standpoint it's simple brilliant, distilling complex information to its most accessible form, but it's also visually stunning as well.

4) Sewing Stretch-Knit without a Serger / Overlocker
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8exUCIleGo

This is more about the concept than this actual video itself. Basically, YouTube has become a hub for, among other things, videos outlining techniques. If you're stumped on how to do something, I always recommend doing a search on YouTube. For example, I wanted to look into sewing stretch fabric without needing to purchase an expensive serger machine. The video I've linked to solved my problem and wasn't remotely hard to find. There are a ton of nice people out there that want to share their knowledge with you via YouTube and other video hosting sites.

I use a lot of videos in my class. I am a firm believer that videos can really help our students to understand many different concepts much better then other methods. Videos allow us to show a topic in a much more innovative manner then simply standing in front of the class and talking. Below are some videos that I have used in the past with my students:

http://www.butterscotch.com/show/Lab-Rats
The Lab-Rats are a great duo. They cover so many different areas of technology and use a lot of humor doing so. Students love watching these videos and we use them for discussion topics throughout the weeks.

http://www.butterscotch.com/show/Pimp-My-PC
This is another great web show. My students are always interested in performing small tweaks to make the computers different from others. I highly encourage this practice as this is a great way for my students to learn how to delve into the computer system.

http://www.podtech.net/home/category/intel?show_view=true
Intel is one of the leading technology companies. These videos showcase many of their different technologies that they are developing. This information is vital to my students as they need to stay on top of this information if they are to remain relevant in out field.

http://videos.howstuffworks.com/computer
How Stuff Works is one of my favorite sites. I have spent MANY hours just reading through the site and watching their videos. They stream videos from different sites along with their own videos. Again, this is so great for my students!!

I love using videos in my classes. I used them to over emphasize what I am teaching. I believe that by "seeing" what they are being taught it helps students learn to better understand and retain the material at hand.

http://www.rollingrs.com/2009/06/07/rolling-rs-84-the-subjunctive/
Used for teaching and explaining how the used in Spanish.


http://www.lingus.tv/video
This video is good to enforce how to use the vocabulary and their meaning for "getting and giving directions".
