Community Building Projects through Audio/Visual Videography
Challenges and Supports
Devon Middle School has just started an Audio/Visual club designed to promote community building. We want to highlight the awesome things happening in our school and showcase student work and projects.
To accomplish this, we are using our iPads as well as old Digital SLR cameras to feed live video into a switchboard.
Our primary goal is to make student assemblies more accessible to visually impaired students as well as students sitting a long away from the speaker. We will accomplish this by having live video feed appear on the screen behind the speaker. Using the switchboard, the live video feed can switch between cameras and a computer feed (PowerPoint, video, etc.)
Our secondary goal is to provide live morning announcements using Microsoft Teams and/or YouTube. Not only will this allow for recorded video feeds from the previous day's events but will also create a historical record for the awesome things students are doing at DMS.
Our tertiary goal is to bring all of these audio/visual videography activities into the MSTE classroom for grade 7-8 students that choose this hands-on project. This will be blended with other web-based activities for a complete multimedia experience. Again, this will offer students opportunities to publish their work digitally including photos and videos of woodworking, robotics, art and music as well as regular classroom activities.
