STATE-OF-THE-ART
Some research must be done on how technology in terms of videomaking has been used for teaching and learning. It is paramount to look for what other teachers have written regarding this topic. Viewing samples of short videos made at schools by teachers and students is a must. Reading about the basics of cinematography, directing, producing and editing is really crucial.
I will look for examples of short films made by students. -
Period: to
Tecnology at school.

EXPLORING
Students' prior knowledge is built through the viewing of a short video and the questions of how it was made in terms of planning, type, content, script, location, props, sounds, titles and credits. In other words, they are asked how technology was used to create thje video. -
EXPLAINING
Teacher helps students to conceptualize the steps behind the making of a video, such as planning, chosing the type and content of video, writing the script, deciding on the locations, the props, the music of sounds effects, the scenes shooting, the editing and the titles design. They should have clear that these steps are handled with help of technology. -
ANALYZING
Students are encouraged to view short videos and to share links with peers and teachers making comments of the aspects that called their attention the most. -
APPLYING
The students are encouraged to make a video with the teacher's supervision. The planning must be properly, the type and the content must be chosen. Students write together the script. They decide about the locations: inside the classroom, or other sites of the classroom. Finally, students participate as actors, actresses, editors, camera operator, sound and video editors. -
PRODUCTION
NETS-T
Teacher uses his knowledge of subject matter, teaching and learning, and technology to facilitate experiences that advance student learning, creativity, and innovation in both face-to-face and virtual environments. In this way,
he promotes, supports and models creative and innovative inventiveness. -
POSTPRODUCTION
NETS-T
At this point, teachers explain how to edit the images and sound. In this way some students are engaged in exploring real-world issues and solving authentic problems using digital tools and resources.
NETS-S
Students demonstrate creative thinking, construct knowledge, and develop innovative products and processes using technology. They create original works as a means of personal or group expression. -
PREMIERE
Students are shown their video as the result of their own work made through technology. Their video is uploaded to video website such as YouTube. Students are free to link it in their different social networks.
NETS-S
In this way students use digital media and environments to communicate and work collaboratively, including at a distance, They interact, collaborate, and publish with peers, experts, or others employing a variety of digital environments
and mediathey are use -
FUTURE ACTIONS
Analyzing mistakes, improving the students participation and making the action plans motivating.
In case most of students do not have, say, a channel in YouTube, this would be the pretext to begin a new action plan.
Teacher will not only continue working in this kind of projects but also expanding the sources for using technology in videomaking. My PLE will include Websites specialized in scriptwriting, join groups related to video making for education, tutorials for editing, etc.
