You would either have to pause it often, or (if this is possible in Vimeo, or in some other software) show it in slow motion, or prepare a slideshow of stills (maybe that's the best option, because it allows you to discuss each still/location for as long as you like).martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14966950723571366292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550174673876716587.post-64790514458786307462011-08-04T16:05:04.142+01:002011-08-04T16:05:04.142+01:00Hi Martin
Thanks for the comment and the interest ...Hi Martin<br />Thanks for the comment and the interest in Cultcha<br />There's plenty of options for that:<br />a) watch the film again and see how many locations they can identify, perhaps pausing at particular points e.g. Louvre pyramid at 00.05 means they went to Paris...<br />b) make their own version of the film using images and Smartboard software<br />c) write an e-mail with some questions for the film-maker or add a comment to Vimeo if the teacher logs in<br />d) look at the Importance Statement for Geography and see which elements of geography curriculum the video covers in 1 minute e.g. rural-urban contrasts, globalisation, cultural exploration etc.<br />e) consider the planning that went into this 1 minute of film - what was the carbon footprint of the project ? <br />f) watch the LEARN or EAT video and make connections between locations<br />g) suggest other ONE WORD projects that could be filmed...<br />h) do you want me to go on ??<br /><br />:)Alan Parkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14528013029514239163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-550174673876716587.post-81084366964832880692011-08-04T15:56:00.218+01:002011-08-04T15:56:00.218+01:00Awesome films, all three of them.
