Video Production As a Learning Tool

Even in today's technological world, nothing would replace doing more of the actual hands on activities to teach the concepts. As Aristotle said "What we have to learn to do, we learn by doing." To make hand-on activities more interesting, students can take a video of themselves while doing the hands on activities and upload it on the class website or class blog. Not only do they have online portfolio of classwork, other students from other classes even from other places can learn from them. Integrating video production in the learning process with the students as the actors is very motivating for students simply because it gives them the feeling of being a star or gives them exposure just like their favorite star in their favorite TV programs. ZOOM sci offers a lot of science hands on activities as well as some videos of kids actually doing the activities.
