Go wild for wildlife : exemplifying action through the use of digital video

Abstract

This study suggests that the learning curve to develop professional looking presentations is very steep. Without the necessary background in computers or video production, not all teachers will be able to act alone to accomplish each stage involved in the creation of digital video productions. The pre-, post- and production stages of video development are discussed as it relates to the study. Although it would be commendable if teachers were able to develop their own multimedia presentations, the cost and time investment for teachers is considerable. Experiences and recommendations regarding the creation and use of digital video are provided.
