**Module 3: Video Editing and Video Hosting Sites**
Using video in your classroom to enhance student learning.

**Objectives:**

 * Research educational uses of digital video
 * Upload video from your camera to the computer and online
 * Practice editing video -- edit, transitions, etc
 * Explore video hosting sites and learn how to embed photos into your website
 * Discuss video formats and the issues that may arise

**Class reading assignment:**
Take some time to research online about some ways educators have used video to improve student engagement and learning. In the discussion area in our course shell on Marian Online please cite three links that you found interesting. Give a brief description and what you found interesting for each site.

Also in the discussion area answer these questions: What are your district's policies on allowing students to visit online video sites? Are all sites blocked? How have you used video in your class up to this point? With the advent of small, compact flash based cameras give an example how your students could use a video camera to enhance a lesson. Make sure you respond to two other classmates' posts.

**Module 3 Action Assignment:**
During class on Friday or Saturday we will upload video from a camera to a computer and to an online site. You will have time to practice your editing skills and also time to explore the various photo editing and sharing sites the internet offers.

Part of Module 7 will be learning how to embed videos into your site. We may touch on this during the first weekend.
