The main areas that educators should focus on when incorporating Vlogging into curriculum is the length of the videos in the videoblog, students’ access to the videoblogs, the students’ differentiated learning styles, the privacy and protection of their students, and the incorporation of diverse perspectives into the content of the videos. (Rebecca Meeder Educational Technology University of Hawai’i at Manoa, 2008)
Firstly, the teachers ask their students to view a video online that they have created usually around five minutes or less. Then they need to make sure that it is available for students to access to in their home and school. Also, Vlogging is an additional way for textual and visual learners to learn. Textual learners can make comments in videoblogs to discuss and comment or critique the video presented on the videoblog. Visual learners have opportunity to get more information in another way besides in-class lecture or textbook.
This week I found a very interesting video blogging website that is for educational use:
Bre Pettis is a former elementary school teacher in Seattle who used videoblogs to create projects with his students as well as share with their parents the different activities they were participating in at school. His videoblog at http://room132.com/ often features videos of himself explaining to the students’ parents about the topics and themes of the current week’s activities. This videoblog provides another way for students to get together to share not only their thoughts but their videos as well. It’s a very interesting and attractive way to stimulus students’ curiosity and participation. I’m enjoy traveling around this vlog and watching these videos very much.
