Reflection on Video

The idea of the use of videos in the classroom is another idea that I like and will use in the classroom when I start teaching. The value of this tool can help children understand the civil war, by having students pick a section of the war and have each group play out the whole war. This teaches students how to put the information they know into a video and reenact the war. Then the video also allows other students to learn more about something.
The idea I would have is a video about a specific war. I would split the class up into groups and each group gets a section of the Battle of Gettysburg. Each group gets a day of the battle and comes back with a video of their day and each student gets to learn about the different days and from there the students learn about the Battle of Gettysburg. Challenges are that the students would have to find video cameras and need class time to do the project as well as time outside of class to work on it.
