#9 Caught on Tape

This article discussed the practical application of using video capturing and editing technology in the classroom to create a more effective learning culture for the students. The argument that the author uses is by describing today's students as the "Age of Youtube" describing the student's familiarity with digital information.

I believe that the most important aspect of this article is discussed under the "Make it count" subtitle. In this section the author describes the exemplified precedence placed on capturing and sharing learning experiences. This factor helps instill sense of the importance of education within the students. Through suggesting that learning is a continuous process and that lessons should be recalled and documented in the schooling experience, students are reinforced and encouraged that their education is applicable.

The article gives numerous suggestions for effective use of technology and video documents within the school. While it may require more work from the teacher to capture, edit and upload, I do believe that it would create a more efficient learning experience for the students.
