Stop Motion video

Two of my students worked very hard and many hours to story map, and create their own short stop motion video using a digital camera.  They handed in a back story and summary of their idea and then they created this video on "perseverance".  The students had no background knowledge on the mechanics of creating a video.  We watched examples of stop motion videos and discussed copy right and the use of creative commons information to enhance their work. We navigated how to use movie maker, and then I demonstrated how to create their own.  The video is a little shaky and could use some editing, but they did well.

Edpuzzle

Edpuzzle is a neat way for teachers to embed videos into their lessons. Select a video, crop it to the section of the video you want for a particular lesson, you can narrate it with your own voice and embed a quiz at any time you wish. Using this tool will make the lesson much more engaging and students can show you their learning. Videos can be added directly into Google Classroom.
