Digital Video Training for NH Educators

Join the Fun – Learn about Video!

So many exciting lessons take place in our schools, whether they are K-12 or higher educational institutions! Why not save those great lessons to video and share within the wider educational community?

Anyone can take video but can you take video to tell your story that is really effective? Do you know how to use your video camcorder to its fullest? Do you know how to use audio to its best? Can you edit video? Can you prepare your video so others can view it? This is a great opportunity to learn how to take effective video (videography), how to edit your footage, and how to save your movie and be able to share it with others.

During 2002-03, the New Hampshire Department of Education is sponsoring digital video training sessions, scheduled as an initial full day session plus a second full day held about a month later. The goal of these sessions is to help educators develop their skills using short video clips to tell a story about classroom practice.  Follow up sessions will also be held to teach you how to turn your video into an exemplary practice for publication on the NH Learning Interchange.  We want to share your exciting lessons with pre-service and in-service teachers and higher education faculty, so they can learn from what you do so well.

These workshops are especially designed for educators who will commit to creating an exhibit of practice for the NHLI site. Preference will be given to those who can work in pairs and especially to teams of K-12 teachers working with IHE faculty. You will attend the initial day with your partner to learn the “nuts and bolts” of using the camera. Then you will have about a month to experiment with the camera, so that on your second day of training you’ve got video footage to edit.
