Please watch my video recording below of this week's reflection on Videos.
(This video was created by recording myself with my laptop's in-built webcam and microphone on Windows Live Moviemaker. The file was then saved and uploaded onto Youtube.)

These days video is everywhere. Almost every household has at least one television, sometimes one in every room. Increasing ease of access from mobile devices also means that video such as new release movies are now available in places that just a few years ago the only entertainment was a good book.
Youtube is one of the most popular sites currently on the web. Videos ranging from TED Talks, funny videos and tutorials on just about ANYTHING are available for anyone to access. Additionally, just about anyone can upload a video. All that is required is a computer and a camera - which many smart phones have.
With the introduction of C2C (Curriculum into the Classroom) in schools across Queensland, video is now commonly integrated into lessons. In my opinion, video is the easiest and most engaging resource to use in the classroom. It can be used a number of ways to present information such as simply recording a procedure, oral information report, or reading a narrative. It can be used in more creative ways, such as recording a performance of acting out a character, or as a video journal to record thoughts and feelings on a subject. Video could even be used to record student's acting out a story, maybe with an alternative ending.The possibilities are endless.
