Abstract:
New developments with digital video and editing software have given rise to
new ways of using video to enhance teaching and learning. The project discussed in this
paper investigates the value and use of student-generated digital video for enhancing
pedagogy in K-12 schools. A collaborative project between academics from a NSW
university and Apple Computer Australia is currently in progress and aims to identify,
examine and analyse pedagogical practices in relation to use of this technology in five
case schools. This paper will discuss the literature supporting the project, the research
design and the rationale for a study of this nature. The paper will highlight the focus of
the investigation, that of investigating pedagogy rather than technology, and discuss the
merits of such a focus.
