How can I get my students more excited about making class videos?

Although the class did not focus on this and neither did our case study, the students appear more motivated to use videos as a learning  tool.  I believe increasing collaborative learning through the use of technology has increased student motivation.

This was the focus of our case study. Using technology has made a drastic positive difference in my students' reading achievement.  We focus our efforts on using Achieve3000 (a reading intervention program) I saw gains in t

Can technology help decrease apathy at the secondary level?

Addressing the needs of my students with the understanding of where they were at developmentally and emotionally has helped with this. Understanding that the desire of a teen to be autonomous, while also teaching the my students with special needs how to read was a challenge, but this class helped me address this through a more interactive approach.

I wonder how many ways technology can be used to boost collaborative engagement in students.

I used one program this semester: Nearpod.  This has been very effective. I will most likely begin to slowly try more collaborative learning tools such as Flipgrid or Snapchat for Education in the future.

My overall comprehension of students and where they are developmentally and what I need to provide them as an educator has helped improve my teaching practice. I feel like I am able to address their needs much better, because I simply thought about increasing learning in more culturally relevant ways. Adding a simple video, or having students discuss how the reading relate to their lives, has revolutionized my classroom in a positive way.

I created interactive lessons through Nearpod.com that broke up the monotony of using the same reading program all day. Engaging students, having students collaborate, or even draw using digital tools through Nearpod.com has helped engagement for the students in class.

I wonder how teachers find the time to create videos using green screen in the class.

____
Post Class:
I haven't done green screen, but I have used a Swivl in the class, and it was easy as pie. I recorded the lesson while teaching the class and post it online for absent students. In addition to that I was able to record short lessons using the Swivl and an iPad in order to pre-teach and flip my classroom much more effectively.
