H5P & Video In The Classroom
Including H5P videos within a lesson or, as an activity for students to create for themselves would most certainly be beneficial for any science classroom, and could even be utilized within math. These interactive videos allow students the opportunity to show what they have learned in the video, and help to challenge there critical thinking and science/math’s literacies. By having questions periodically throughout the video, it would also help to boost engagement compared to just putting on a YouTube video and expecting them to be able to know all the information that it covered. Lastly I think it could be a great tool to employ for students to use for studying. By creating their own video, and making questions it helps them to review as well as be able to think critically to create questions. I would employ this by asking students to make groups, create their own H5P videos, and if comfortable share them between group members to help study.
Expanding upon using H5P in the classroom, audio/video could be utilized as a assignment within the classroom to show their understanding of a concept. For example, a grade 10 science class could be tasked with getting into groups and creating a stop motion video of the stages of mitosis (using clay, paper/drawings, or models) and voice over what occurs at each stage, and when the check points occur. If you wanted to break the assignment down further, each group could cover one stage of mitosis, and then as the teacher you can compile each groups video into one collage, so that students now have a useful study tool for future assessments . Before students start the assignment I think its very important to cover the software they can use, and show them how to create it as it may be their first time using such software, and is useful information that they could use in the future

The video above shows science projects that I could ask the students to film tutorials for, and share to the class as an assignment
