I was very encouraged to see the June/July 2009 Learning & Leading with Technology magazine's Learning Connections segment.This month's segment devotes a full 10 pages to using video in the classroom. Here's the link to my favourite of the lot.
Telling Stories with Video
by Carl A. Young and Sara Kajder
Professors Young and Kajder write about how important video is as a part of students' multimodal learning. Here's a quote from the article.
"integrating visual images with written text, as done in most digital stories and multimodal compositions, enhances and accelerates comprehension. Meaning here is more layered, interactive and complex. Text and pictures often convey more meaning when juxtaposed. This effect is further intensified with digital video, where motion, design, and interactivity are added to the mix."
