Exam Study Review with Music Video
Click on the arrow within the video window below to play a music video that I made by combining PowerPoint slides from lectures about World War II, the Cold War, and several other chapters and mixing in music that my students like. The PP slides are simplified ones from what were displayed during class. [I needed to delete some more text from the slides, but ran out of time to post this before the exam]. The process for making the music video was by a commercial company called Animoto. http://animoto.com You can apply for a special educator classification and gain access for you and students in the class for several months. Their site provides the legal software to use in mixing witht he video. Go to the webiste and they have plenty of information and provide other samples. This is powerful stuff. My students said that it was useful for a last summary of material that they had been studying in preparation for the unit exam. Enjoy.
