Video making in the classroom success story

Carl, J. D. (2008) Making History. Technology and Learning, 28(7), 26. Retrieved October 12, 2010, from Wilson Web database.

This article gives an example of a highly successful use of video editing projects in a high school history classroom. The students created documentaries on the local community history with an emphasis on veteran affairs. It describes how a teacher with no video production background whatsoever, taught himself how to create documentaries. He then encouraged his students to create mini documentaries on local history. The collaborated with the local community to create and then revise the documentaries for accuracy. In addition to learning about local and veteran history through making the documentaries, the students learned filmmaking and took a highly active role in learning.
