Digital Texts and Videos
Students today are using educational videos as a tool for learning everything: from basic skills - like changing a tire - to the latest dance craze.
Studies have shown that the use of short video clips allows for more efficient processing and memory recall. The visual and auditory nature of videos appeals to a wide audience and allows each user to process information in a way that’s natural to them. In a nutshell, videos are good teachers.
Today, we will re-watch the digital text titled "Animal Senses" and we will focus our attention on the methods that producers use when creating media. We will realize that these techniques help us make sense of what we are viewing and essentially allow us to gain a better understanding of the topic being presented.
The word technique refers to a method or skill that a person uses when producing media, such as videos.
The video Animal Senses uses sound and visual elements, live action, and narration by an expert.
