Digital Video Goes to School This article describes how teachers are now incorporating the art of making digital videos into their classroom experiences. It explains how digital video making helps motivate students and energize teaching. Digital videos are now being used in all grades, K-12 and teaching students to make digital videos has become a necessary conduit into increasing their appreciation of the various subjects being taught. The article discusses how video newscasts, documentaries, informercials and video clips to be used on a Web page are now being taught to students. The article also demonstrates how using a concept map, such as Inspiration 9 can help students achieve the goal of creating interesting and informative videos. I had very little experience with creating digital videos until I took this class. I had seen them, but had no idea how to make one myself. I now know that as a future teacher it is important for me to continue my education on digital video making. This is a tool that can make learning enjoyable for students who no longer worry so much about their grade, as on written tests, as they do about making a great video. It helps them increase their understanding of subjects such as history by bringing the events and people alive so that they can better comprehend the subject matter at hand.
