We’ll in the sharing of my groups findings, the most popular choices of video editing software seem to be Windows Movie Maker and Jaycut. They are the most accessable tools that help us create and edit videos. The whole process of using this devices helps us create a new wave and means of learning. According to Andrew Garrison the way our attention is hooked on education through computer media is “ proliferating faster than its predecessors (2009).” We still depend on books and old fashion lectures as the learning means however, everything is being altered a little from using a screen with an insertion for film strip to cart with a tv/vcr to a computer/projector/possibly wifi showing a PowerPoint Presentation or edited video off the internet. As technology changes it is a fact that students have a hard time focusing. The effective means of educating traditionally is not enough to get them to learn. They choose and pick what they want to hear and tune the teachers out. Through media production, the purpose is to engage them in the learning process. The objective is not just to show them a video and expect for results. The objective is to put them in charge of their own learning having them do research and teaching them to use media production. “Media production engages and excites; it leads to unexpected discoveries, increased self-awareness and esteem, sharpened critical thinking, analytical skills, group work skills, and ability to communicate ideas (Garrison, A 2009).” The process of teaching them how to use the software for the intended goal could seem time consuming and difficult. But taking into consideration that the students are “Digital Natives” according to Prensky, there are software friendly tools that could help them achieve their objective like Windows Movie Maker or Jaycut. Everything comes down into having the necessary tools, making the time to teach, and getting the learning process going in order to impact the learning. ||
