Topic: Weather.
Class: IV.
The content based materials I have designed is for grade
four. The topic is weather from socio studies subject. The main objectives of
the materials are to let students to identify the weather words appropriately,
describe types of weather clearly and finally able to write sentences using the
weather words. The tool I have used this time is Camtasia. Camtasia is powerful video editing software,
which supports most video media formats and presents an easy to use
demonstration and education video platform. Apart from recording videos and
audios, Camtasia is good for video editing and very easy to learn for the
beginner.
How did I create the materials?
First of all I planned to prepare a PowerPoint presentation on
weather and then only I can screen record using Camtasia. I have designed the
images of weather and types of weather using shapes and some images are
downloaded from google. I have used entrance animation (wipe and swivel) to
introduce the topic in the first slide and followed by wipe animation to
display the objectives of lesson in second slide. For the following slides, I
have used simple and several animations like appear, fade, disappear, wipe in
order to guide the students properly and not to distract them. I have also
inserted pictures downloaded from internet to support the concept and make it
interesting and understandable.
After the presentation is completed, I opened the Camtasia
Studio 8.2 version and selected record the screen option and started recording.
I explained the concepts as if I were teaching in the real classroom. I saved
the recording after it is done and automatically it took me back to Camtasia.
Then, I started editing by using tool such as cut, split, transition. After
that, I saved the video from produce and share option by selecting the MP4 with
video player (up to 720p) because it will give the best version of graphic
compare to other option.
When should the materials be used?
The materials can be used during lesson development and
lesson closure. The video can be used as information input under lesson
development in teaching the concepts to students because all the information
are clearly explained with voice narration. Teacher can pause the video when it
reaches to difficult part or unfamiliar words because students will be confused
if the video is played continuous without getting the concept. We can also
pause the video after all the concepts are explained to carry out the activity.
The teacher can also use the summary part from the video during lesson closure
because through graphic organizer students will be interested as well as
teacher can help students to recapitulate the lesson learned.
