Week 9 Post (Required)

I was absolutely blown away by all of the fabulous ideas in Bob Spankle's article "Caught on Video." In this article, he advocates for using video cameras in school to enhance learning. While many may agree that this concept could be helpful to some extent, you almost can't help but enthusiastically agree with him by the time you've finished reading the article. All of the ways he suggests a teacher could use a video within the classroom are very practical, reasonable and sensible for the sake of education. This article makes me simply ask the question, "Why not?" A video camera and footage throughout the year would be an excellent way to accomplish learning objectives, help students get involved and see progress, inform parents of classroom activities, capture the year on tape, and create an exciting and interactive environment. In my opinion, an inexpensive video camera (if it was allowed by the school district) would be a huge asset to any classroom setting!
