The Video In Teaching And Learning (VITAL) is a project that is being initiated by McGraw Hill and Thirteen/WNET Television in New York to equip every teacher with videos and other tools that will enhance the curriculum of certain subject areas. This is a video based project designed to allow teachers a great tool to improve student achievement. These videos are focused on targeting certain learning styles and there are different video lessons for the different styles. The great thing about these videos is that it can not only be used as a class lesson or group lesson, but it also can be implemented into personal tutoring or small group lessons.
I have chosen this article because it is partially relating to my posed question about technology: "What would be an appropriate and effective way to gather images (for a screen cast) about a certain country if the students can not physically go there themselves." This article is partially an answer to my question because it talks about integrating videos of places or aspects that the students cannot physically can go or see. These videos are aspects that will enhance a curriculum for many subjects and will allow the students experiences to grow and expand while viewing these videos of different aspects and details. There is not many extras that can be added to a social studies classroom, but i am going to try to implement new technologies into my daily curriculum. I would like to use blogs, videos, virtual tours, and many more. I would love to have my students view a video or virtual tour and then discuss and right about the experience on their blog. I plan on using a wide variety of technology in my teaching as well as encourage my students to use many different forms themselves for their learning.
