Journal on Group Video Tutorial
The production of Group's Tutorial was hardest of the hard for the
fact that, firstly each of the members was not very sure of either it was a
group or an individual activity. Colleagues from different places posted
different understanding in VLE forum. I was totally blind until the Tutor's
clarification made on VLE. Secondly, my group members being working in distant
places, it made difficult to contact through mail as well as through phones.
Thirdly, even if the group had planned a lesson, we were not sure of how to go
about. And lots minors, made it so complicated to have the video Tutorial
produced it into a final video.
Working with the Camtesia software was the most difficult part of
the activity. Firstly the downloading part, that too long time to get it downloaded
with very poor net coverage. Then being working for the first time with this
software none of us did not know how to go about it. There was much interaction
made through various modes among the members. Some said, it should be a full
capture of the teacher teaching a lesson in the class. Some shared that it
should be only the voice capture with the movements of hand/curser across the
content. There were lots of discussions made finally decided to prepare for
three topics; water cycle, teaching poem and a lesson on percent in
mathematics. The groups having posted and shared one's suggestion and views on
each video have decided that, the lesson on percent fulfils the requirements of
the project. And hence, all worked hard in compilation of the video. The first
video we have published and uploaded by Ten Gyaltshen was found a whole capture
of the lesson on poem. We feel that, that was not as per the instruction of the
activity. Therefore it may be treated as cancelled.
Coming to the uploading part, firstly it took lots of time to join the
clips into one piece using Camtesia software and secondly in the presence of
very poor net coverage, it has really delayed our submission. However, being
made calls and talked with Tutor, the group is very thankful for the Tutor for
creating another space on VLE to upload our Tutorial a later than its actual
due dates. Despite spending our days and nights in making the upload, finally
it got uploaded.
Infect, this project was really an enriching one as it is found
useful for teachers to implement it in the class. We, particularly me really
loved doing it and if this is practiced in real classroom teaching, it would
prevent monotony in our teaching styles. This would even arises the children's
interest in learning things more quickly as they are digital natives and likes
learning things through ICT. This will even help teachers. In absence of one,
any teacher can use the produced video Tutorial in the class.
