an easier time assembling their clips in the proper order if they name their
clips. For example, the question clips are labeled Q1, Q2, Q3, ... and the
answer clips are labeled A1, A2, A3, ... Once al of the clips are identified they
can then be placed in the proper sequence. When students try to tape an
interview in real time with one camera the resulting video is marred by the
camera moving between the “host” and “guest.”
Digital Storytelling
Students may use images, video and sounds to tell a story about a
member of their family or a person they know who lived through an
interesting historical moment. In language arts students can develop writing
and editing skills in developing a narrative for their video. For more

Instructional Videos
You may have your students create instructional videos on anything
from how to cook certain dishes to how to use a microscope or how to solve
math equations. The instructional format is an exciting way to use video to
explain how something is done in any subject area from science to language
arts.
