My first concept is Youtube, handcrafted videos, and
streaming video resources. The internet has many resourceful videos to help
web surfers learn new skills. These step by step instructional videos teach any
number of things from plumbing to building a computer. But in this situation
these videos will help teachers with teaching their students in any subject
from math to science and even history.
My next concept is Digital video cameras. Digital
video cameras are useful for teachers as a learning instrument. They allow teacher
to snap good quality pictures of learning moments and adjust the pictures to
their liking. Adjustments or editing such as cropping, lighting, creating
slideshows, etc. These functions combined with a teacher’s planning can help a
teacher demonstrate a lesson or project with ease.
My last concept is Digital video and storytelling.
Digital story telling is a great concept for subjects such as English and
language arts. This concept can be used for group play projects and benefit the
students by being able watch themselves as they play a part or a character.
This concept also gives the students the ability to redo any acts or scenes the
students may not be too proud of.
In conclusion, online video resources such as Youtube
can benefit teacher and students because of the variety of instructional videos
they have available to them. Digital cameras assist teacher with teaching by
allowing teacher to edit photos and create educational slideshows to help
students learn. And digital video and storytelling helps students are great for
acting and play projects to allow students to view and possibly redo any acts
or scenes that they may not be happy with.

Digital storytelling encompasses so many goals - it helps with a variety of literacies, such as writing (storyboards), reading (scripts), creating (technology), etc. I like that it can be used as a powerful assessment tool and students are usually engaged from the beginning with a dedication to completing their best work!
