Module 4

Hypermedia Video - See classmates' videos

Assignment
Review the video above, paying particular attention the educational drawbacks and future of hypermedia in education. Create a similar video presentation that includes: 1) background music; 2) pictures; and 3) text. Do not provide  narration - let the music, text, and pictures convey your message. Use any presentation resource of your choosing; however, no  commercial vendor product will be graded; it must be free, browser-based, and non-device specific. Your overall message is to provide solutions to the problems presented in the video. How will the devices from the future enhance teaching and learning. Will new devices also create potential problems? How would you respond to these potential issues?  Post your response in the Google+ community under the correct heading. Embed two ISTE standards, chat/discuss a bit with your peers, and correctly follow all directions provided in order to receive consideration for full credit of 50 pts.

(P.S. Remember, these are discussion boards, so think about "discussing" with your colleagues concerning their feedback/videos. Piaget, Vygotsky and Dewey are some of the major theorists that can be credited with their ideas on Constructivist Learning Theory and the value of learning from one another as we start to develop our own understanding(s) of the content.)

Highlights
There were several tools used by students to create the videos for this module. They were: Obviously, Biteable and PowToons were the most popular tools. They produced impressive videos that the authors all found easy-to-use and user-friendly.
 * Biteable, used by 12 students.
 * PowToons, used by 9 students.
 * Screencast-O-Matic, used by 1 student.
 * Microsoft Sway, used by 1 student.
 * Raw Shorts, used by 1 student.
 * EdPuzzle, used by 1 student.

The most novel tool used was probably Microsoft Sway. A number of students commented on never having heard of it before, and it clearly stood out as different than the rest.
