I am relating this chapter to Chapter 3 "Teaching, Learning, and the Curriculum" in the Williamson book. Chapter 7 discusses implementing visual recording in the classroom.
This chapter basically gives ideas on how to implement digital cameras, digital moviemaking, and webcabs into lessons and activities. It gives detailed direction on materials, procedures, ideas for future lessons, and some additional activities that can also be incorporated.
I really like this book. I think that it would be a good resource to have for people with limited technological ability. It will help to give a beginning point for which you can begin to incorporate visual recording into your classroom. As I would begin to do this I would have ideas on how to use it in a lesson while I was becoming more familiar with it and then as I became more comfortable with doing these things I could come up with ideas on my own. I chose to look at chapter 7 for this blog but I think that it would be beneficial for me to have because it covers so many of the technologies that would help me to get started with using them in my classroom and not have to try to learn how to use them and figure out ideas off the top of my head to incorporate the technologies.
Thank you
