Reflection



Reflection 
Reflecting on this assignment I cannot help but remember those fun times and frustrations I encountered in trying to carry out this task. This assignment was truly one with ups and downs.
This assignment was based on the use of video in the classroom to aid the process of teaching and learning. We chose a topic that was relevant to our field. Being one of the most important factors in anything one may consider to do, we decided to look at safety and placed emphasis on safety gears on a construction site also called ‘Personal Protective Gear’ (PPE). The use of this video was to make the teaching and learning experience authentic and create a vivid learning environment. Considering that every student in the classroom does not learn the same way, the use of video would cater to most of their different styles for example auditory, visual, kinestic etc.
The first task in creating the video was to produce a story board. This was to help us know exactly what order our video was going to take and what we would include in our video. My group members and I sat and discussed our storyboard and what we were going to put in. we made a presentation to the class and was told that our story board was too graphic. We then made the necessary changes and the next step was shooting the video.
We set out to find a construction site in the north of the island but we were unable to gain access to a site because of policy. Thanks to the warmth and kindness of the East we were able to get our video. One of the challenges faced when shooting the video was background noise and the wind. After this clip was taken our video was put together to produce a lesson on PPE.
