Today students in Ms. Town&#8217;s class created measurement movies using <a href=\"http:\/\/wevideo.com\">WeVideo<\/a>. First we reviewed the different customary units of measurement from smallest to largest (inches, feet, yards, and miles), and we reviewed the metric units (millimeter, centimeter, meter, kilometer). Then I explained that they would create movies about the units with a partner or by themselves. Each group chose a unit until all the units were chosen. The students logged into WeVideo with their Google accounts and created a new video project. I outlined three main requirements for the video: (1) introduce themselves, (2) describe their unit of measurement, and (3) give examples of objects that would be measured by that unit. For the first two parts, students used the built-in webcam to record their video directly to WeVideo. For the third part, students had to do some research online and find images of appropriately-sized objects. They downloaded their images to the desktop, then imported them into WeVideo. Finally, we selected themes with music, and I showed them how to adjust the volume so the music wasn&#8217;t too loud. We published our videos and pasted the links into Schoology so our classmates could watch them and comment on them.
