Learning Project Inside A Learning Project

This week I learned the second half of the alphabet and practiced writing the letters. I followed the video How to Read The Ukrainian Alphabet. Part 2. By Speak Ukrainian. This video was made by the same person that I watched last week. Again her video was very organized and easy to follow. She speaks clearly and gives great exaples of a comparison from an english word to a ukrainian word.

The biggest challenge of this week was using a new platform to create a video. I have never made a YouTube Video before so I chose to do that. However, I really really struggled to edit a video on YouTube so I ended up using iMovie to edit and create my video. I have used iMovie before however I have never edited the videos and added images on top of the video. The learning curve for me this week was combining multiple videos into one and added the images on top of my video. I still incorporated YouTube since I had to create my account and publish a video. In regard to the SAMR model I think that iMovie, YouTube, etc. fits into the modification category. It allows students to interactively work from home. Prior to this technology if a student was working from home they were not able to share videos of progress and it would be simply emailing and describing progress. As well, since I was able to add images on top of my video I was able to create a clean, professional, and informative video to help others. It would not be possible for me to share my progress in an online class as cleanly and easily as I did.

How I Made My Video:

  1. I filmed five seperate videos of me reading the alphabet out loud.
  2. I trimmed each video in Photos app on the iPhone
  3. I added each video into iMovie and got rid of the fancy transitions between videos for a seemless transition.
  4. I wrote each letter on my laptop using OneNote app then screenshotted and cropped each photo.
  5. I then turned each screenshot of the letters into videos using the iMovie app. I watched How To Put Photos On Your Video (Phone) by ItsFrida on Youtube.
  6. Then I was able to insert the video on top of my original video.
  7. This video will explain how to edit a photo on top of my video.

    There seems to be a large number of free video editing tech on the web, but the editing process seems quite complicated… Great job with what you have learned of the alphabet. It sounds quite different then the english alphabet, Great job!

    Seems very professional for a first Youtube video, Meghan! The Ukrainian language seems quite complicated to learn, but you are doing very well! You have already learned the letters. It’s only a matter of time till you learn how to write a sentence and read that sentence! Keep up the good work!
