This video was a requirement of EDTECH 501 – where we were asked to create an introductory video to share with our peers to help them understand a little bit more about us. I chose to use my own photography from around the world to represent me and the three things that are most important to me – Photography, Travel and my Husband, Matthew. The overall effect that I was going for was a “flood” of images paired with royalty-free music, paired with a voiceover telling my viewer a bit about myself. Generally, the feedback that I received indicated to me that the voiceover tied with the flood of pictures proved to be a little overwhelming as well as a little distracting. This was a very valuable project and I certainly learned a lot from doing it. I hope you enjoy watching it (even if you have to watch it once just for the pictures and a second time for my introduction! ;))
Per the AECT standards information page, “Media utilization is the systematic use of resources for learning”. (Seels & Richey, 1994, p. 46) This video introduction was created using the Mac OS X 10.7 operating system and Apple iMovie ’11 and meets the requirement of the AECT standard of “Media Utilization”.
