session 7 and 8

As educators, our aim is to get students energized and engaged in the hands-on learning process, and video is clearly an instructional medium that is compelling and generates a much greater amount of interest and enjoyment than the more traditional printed material. Using sight and sound, video is the perfect medium for students who are auditory or visual learners. With the added use of subtitles each child then has the choice to watch, listen to, or read each presentation. Video stimulates and engages students creating interest and maintaining that interest for longer periods of time, and it provides an innovative and effective means for educators to address and deliver the required curriculum content.

How do the two compare in terms of instructional media?  Which do you think students would find easier to follow?  As a teacher, do you think it would be useful to get students to create their own screen casts.  Why/why not?

I think that the video tutorial is more way effective than traditional paper based teaching and learning method since it provides  learners to see theoretical and practical view at the same time.  This helps them to learn and imagine the information easily. While preparing  students their own screen casts ,they may learn how to do that tutorial  and review subject.
