Technology
has a fundamental role in today's education. Students
at this age already know a lot about technology;
they know so much that they can be easily identified
as the "multitasking generation". School
work and most of communication is done using computers
and mobile phones: IM, forums, blog, chat, sms,
mms, and many other terms are part of the daily
language of this generation. Images and videos have
changed the way of learning to the point that today's
education has to be more "visual" and
schools have to offer more audio visual teaching
tools.
This
implementation of technology and the relevant role
of the visual impact of communication also gives the
opportunity to explore many other related fields.
Images and videos can be used for learning but also
for presenting a specific product. In particular,
here at St. Stephen's we are curious to see how students
could apply their technology skills in producing material
to present to different types of public.
Websites,
Movies, Documentaries, Slide shows are all ongoing
projects that are involving students with technical
expertise but also students that would like to learn
how to expand their knowledge in the field of IT.
The
following movies have been created by using digital
videocameras and digital editing with Pinnacle Studio.
Students involved in these projects had to experience
the difficulties of setting up the scene with proper
space and light, filming the scenes with various distances
and angles, recording the sound for dialogues and
background music and soundtrack, editing the movie
by importing the various scenes recorded and merging
the pieces using transitions and effects. The result
is very encouraging and gives us the opportunity to
share our accomplishments with the visitors of this
site.
