So…I’ve thought a lot about a way that I would use video editing/creation in a meaningful way in my class.  I hope to either teach early elementary or work as a reading specialist.  I very much welcome feedback and ideas on how to incorporate video editing into my class so that I’m not just doing it for the sake of the assignment or to show that I can edit a video.

What I’m posting is not an edited video; it’s a video I think the students would enjoy that I would use in class, how I would use it, and an idea for how I would edit it that I am wondering if you all think would work.

I would frequently stop the video (at pre-selected spots) and get the students to make predictions about what is going to happen next, like I could do with a story in a book. At the end of the video, I would have the students Think-Pair-Share with a partner to retell the story. Then, I would pull out individual freeze frame images and have the students sub-title the video. Each pair would be in charge of the narrated sub-title of one frame. Then we put them together and could “read” the freeze frames with sub-titles like we would a book with illustrations. We could discuss the story and the narration they created and then watch the movie straight through.

Is this a good plan for effectively using video in an edited way in a 2nd grade class?
