1. Broadcast TV (Learning From) vs. Videography (Learning With) Television

The Case for Television (Jonassen, 1982) Teachers should preview and evaluate progra

ms before using them; prepare students for learning from television by

• introducing new vocabulary• Providing overviews and advance organizers• Remain with students and encourage active viewing of th

e television program• Follow up the program by summarizing, reviewing, discus

sing, and evaluating the content

The Case Against Television Television’s negative effects had the greatest impact on

advanced cognitive abilities• Displaces leisure reading• Requires less mental effort than reading • Reduces children’s attention span and tenacity in

solving problems

5

The Case for Video A variety of social values of producing videos in schools

• Improving students’ self-confidence by planning video productions in class

• Producing feelings of self-satisfaction• Providing valuable feedback to students about how

others perceive them • Fostering cooperative learning while sharing ideas,

planning and producing programs, and evaluating outcomes

• Providing great public relations at open houses and other school functions

Camcorders

• Camcorders (camera-recorders) are portable electronic recording systems that are capable of recording live motion video and audio for later replay by VCRs(video-cassette recorders) or computer.

• Computer had to be equipped with a video board that would convert the analog signals into digital.

• Today, most camcorders record images digitally.

Projectors/Televisions

• Although most camcorders are capable of playing back recorded videos in the viewfinder, viewing through here is limited to a single individual, and the quality is not very good.

• Learning through video is completed when students critique and reflect on their productions, so you will need to acquire a large television set or LCD projectors for playing back student productions for the class.

Microphones

• The built-in microphones tend to be very sensitive, you may also record camera and operator sounds (breathing, talking, giggling, walking), which can be distracting to the message you wish to record.

• So, you may want to purchasing a microphone or two.

• Moving the microphone closer to the source of the sound improves the quality of the sound.
