We have great video editing software, but we don't have great images and videos to work with. Students are passionate in sharing things about themselves in their work. I love learning about students through their work. It helps me to relate to them better. Because of district filters and copyright protections, students often can't create the work they envision. Creating their own videos will allow them to be vested emotionally in their project, allowing them to enjoy and showcase the things means so much to them. It may seem that students have cell phones to record their own activities, but many do not. For different reasons, many 7th and 8th grade students do not have cell phones. I want all my students to have the opportunity to participate in creating "real" videos, rather than scraping together what they can from scarce resources. It is great for students to work in teams. They have so much they can learn from each other and it is good for their emotional well-being to socialize with other students. Video recording opens the opportunity for students to work together to complete a project.
