Your video has great pictures, transitions, and information, but it is very difficult to hear what you are saying. Is there anyway you can improve the volume of your presentation? I agree that online gaming should be used to enhance the learning of all students young and old. I love the way you included your family in the video by recording them playing games and sharing the importance online gaming.
I had a lot of trouble with the audio while creating the video. I guess that is one area of video production that I need to work on in the future. Thanks for the comments. It is nice to get a fresh perspective after viewing it so many times.
I love your concept. I use games all the time in my class. They tend to try harder when winning is at stake! I also like how you had family (I am assumming it was family!) in the end summarizing your video, very creative!
I think you have a clear storyline throughout your video. I agree with Amy that the audio volume was low but that can be fixed relatively easily depending on the manner in which you captured your narration. I thought the video of two children playing tic-tac-toe was apropos to a basic game and the concept that gaming theory provides for education.
My two questions at the end of the video were:
1. How can I use gaming to teaching various concepts to adult learners? 2. What principles could I glean to use in teaching?
Suzanne you already know what I thought from our skype discussion. I still think that your video was great. I liked the image of the kids all playing on the couch. I know that does not happen often in one video frame, but I know that it does happen a lot throughout many homes. Kids love games, it is always great to find a way to make learning fun.
I enjoyed your movie. I grew up playing video games so I am an advocate of using them in the classroom. I think you did a great job of introducing the keynote speaker.
I have to agree with your story line we all learn better when we are enjoying ourselves. Interesting videos of the your childern?
Your microphone is like mine. Did you ever notice that more people called you when you were trying to record the audio than at any other time of the day?
Thanks to all for the comments. Yes, those were my children. They were more than willing to lend their gaming experience to the cause.
I think for adult learners games can be just as vital been the stakes are higher, so to speak. More simulations and connections to their life would be more relevant although everyone loves a good game now and again.
Putting the creation of the game into the hands of the learner is always a great way to assess learning. Either independently or in a group the rules, questions, and outcome can help to measure the stages of the learner's development.
Suzanne, I too enjoyed your video and you did a great job on the transitions, introduction and overall project. I do agree with Amy with the volume but I understand as I've had many problems with the audio within mine. Good job!
Amy, I enjoyed watching your video. The audio can probably be easily corrected. Gaming is a great learning tool because it's something that kids today seem like they're born knowing how to do. My daughter got a Nintendo Dsi for Christmas, and many of those games have educational value, like the imagine series. In one game she's a teacher, and has to work on basic reading and math skills to get to the next level. In the artist game, it teaches all about color theory and artistic techniques.
