Video+Project+-+Bacteria

= Video Project - Bacteria Growth = This is what you get when you put a future Bio teacher and Math teacher into a group together and tell them to create a video. This video could be used in a classroom when the teacher had to be absent or sent to a student who had to miss class. We tried to mimick teaching a lesson and then incorporated the bacteria growth video into the "taught" lesson. It is an effective use of technology because it demonstrates visually a phenomenon that has very little meaning otherwise. Tape recording classes is also an effective way to reflect on how the lesson went and look back on it later for teaching ideas, etc.

This video takes advantage of the technology by splicing video and audio, placing in the pictures of the bacteria and then re-synching the audio back up. We also had fun using a few, well placed, special effects and incorporating a little bit of humor at the beginning and end into an otherwise fairly dry video. The "newness" of this project is the ability to take pre-made video online and weave it into video you take in your classroom. While we borrowed the bacteria growth video, we added the mathematical/biological component to it to make it more applicable for a high school classroom. This video highlights how youtube can be **effectively** incorporated into the classroom.

Without further ado, John and Kimberly's video
