Chris Fancher led a discussion on Project Based Learning and the Buck Institute at EdCamp Waller in Waller, Texas on April 27th, 2013. I lost Internet connection twice during the discussion, but I was persistent and managed to regain service and start a new stream. Because of this, you will need to click on the annotation to move on to the next video. This also means that you must disable any Chrome extensions that prevent annotations from appearing. Sure I could download the videos and edit them into one, but I like using annotations sometimes. That's right. I refuse to admit that I'm too lazy to make a few simple video edits!
Annotations can be used in many ways to benefit students. Teachers that create video lessons as part of a flipped classroom model can link to related videos or the next video in a series, add notes to clarify concepts covered (or just to add something that they forgot to say in the video), or even create "Choose Your Own Adventure" videos. Click here to see some examples. Was that convincing enough?
Of course, teachers could also do something similar (and perhaps in a simpler fashion) through tools like TED Ed, Soo Meta, Weav.ly, Teachem, Sophia, Popcorn Maker, or any of the other similar tools (too lazy again?).
I also wanted to say thanks to Todd Nesloney and Stacey Huffine among countless others for all the hard work that went into hosting EdCamp Waller. We appreciate all that you do! Thanks also to Chris for leading this PBL session!
Alright, fine! I'm just too lazy to edit the three videos and create a new one. You are certainly welcome to do so, though. You could even do it collaboratively in the cloud with WeVideo! Please send me a link when you're done ;-)
