“This I believe” was one of the final projects in SEDU 183. The assignment was to create a “visual essay”
supporting our belief statement about education. At first
I was a little unsure and apprehensive about this assignment. However, when I broke it down into manageable
steps, I succeeded in creating a visual essay that reinforced my statement, “I
believe the passion to teach is something you were born with.” I experimented with several different tools including
Garageband, iMovie, and Windows Live Movie Maker before deciding which tools I wanted
to use. My plan of action was first to
record my voice and then visually represent my essay. I decided to use Garageband to record my voice
and then Windows Live Movie Maker to finish my visual essay. I encountered some difficulties along the way,
although overall this project was rewarding in many ways. The greatest difficulty was learning how to
use the new programs, but in the end I increased my knowledge in the use of
these programs. This assignment also
helped me to discover the many experiences in my life that brought me to
Edinboro University. I do not foresee
using video very often in my future classroom unless the production becomes more
seamless. I feel the process is too
time-consuming, although I would consider using video for a large project or
unit project.
