Right now I am just sitting in the lab while neoDIRECT makes my video cassette into a dvd. This takes forever. But things are looking good for the PowerPoint presentation!
Wow! So, are you using your own original video in the presentation? I'm eager to see it! A question coming from the practical teacher end of that experience... Can you see yourself working with video in your teaching? Taping your practice? Taping your students' work? How can that footage be useful?
I definately see myself using video and video taping in my classroom. One way to acheive second-language acquisition is through skits and plays and readings. So I would love to have my students participate in these activities and then video tape the performances done by the students so that the students can participate in a self-assessment process. The students can learn from their own performances if they have a video of it so they can constantly review it. Also, by video taping a couple times over a period of time the students can see how they improve with the new target language.
It will be interesting to see how you can tie your ideas about video to what we do with digital storytelling. There is alot to do with visual representation that we'll anchor to our discussions about foreign language.
