3 videos
Video 1: http://www.nextvista.org/theme/
This video on theme was supposed to explain theme to students through the use of Romeo and Juliet. While the content was great, and the presenter had great voice quality, I would have appreciated a change in scenery. It would have been nice to see something other than the teacher speaking into the camera. Maybe some images of the characters, or visual examples of the topic.
Video 2: http://www.nextvista.org/limits-and-love/
When the video began, I thought it would be really interesting! The split screen and students "acting" made this movie fun! I enjoyed the whole thing, and it was short enough that I'm sure students would like it. While the video itself was well put together, I feel that it was lacking content. I didn't understand what they were trying to teach the audience. Perhaps this video is just the introduction to a lesson. If so, I want to see what comes next! I'm sure it would be just as good as this video!
Video 3: http://www.nextvista.org/baby-energy/
My favorite video by far!! Finally a video that had both content and visual images that are appealing to the viewer! Who doesn't want to watch a cute baby? The video of the baby on the playground shows how the topic of energy relates to real life. The summary at the end was a great way to tie in all that was taught briefly, and remind the students to look around in their own lives for examples of energy was the perfect finish. I hope to find more videos like this, and more importantly, to create videos just as great!

Outline!
For my next movie- I plan on creating a video tutorial on how to use Turning Point clickers. This video will be helpful in part for my students,and also for my collegues. Some of my students will be presenting at a BOCES conference in two weeks and they will use this video as a part of their presentation.
The video will open with an introduction of the technology. What the product is, where it can be found and what the cost is. The video will then show how easy it is to create a basic turning point slide. Two students (that have parental permission to be video taped) will then present how easy it is for students to use the clickers, and will give step by step instructions. The video will be taken with a flip camera and edited in Imovie.
