Reflection:
As I'm creating the intro videos for course content I will be creating over the summer, I decide to scratch through some TEDtalks for inspiration and to get my brain thinking about why video content is important and how it is best utilized. Although not all of my posted "scratchings" stayed specifically on this topic, the beauty of TEDtalks lies in their ability to make you think!
In looking at the TEDtalk by Salman Khan: I was inspired by his thoughts on "re-scripting" the everyday classroom by delivering content through video as assigned homework and working through problems as class time activities.
Ze Frank discusses the intriguing idea of connecting online and remixing content via voluntary "assignments." I have been looking for ways to keep past AV students (who often tell me how much they miss AV class) in touch, inspired, and working with video. Frank's TEDtalk and his informal "assignments" given to his following have me inspired to start using my AV blog on our IT Program website for fun assignments.
The TEDtalk by Adam Sadowsky has me connecting studio "minds" and studio thinking to Engineering activities. As I teach in the College of Engineering I am always on the look out for ways to communicate with the students that connect engineers and artists.
Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock talks about working on his latest documentary that examines marketing and advertising. Although off topic it is worth watching and makes you ask the question, "What's your brand?"
