What I would do differently to create a video?

The use of videos is a powerful attention getting feature to add to any teacher guided instruction.  It can add an element of realism to the concept(s) that the instructor is presenting.  Considering the wide range of types of programs utilized to create video work.

In playing around with the Imovie program, I discovered the amount of time needed in order to create quality work.  I would like to utilize Garage Band in order to create audio summaries of some of the pictures that are included in the video.  The audio would give prompts to the viewing audience to complete certain tasks or give further explanation of the pictures or video in the video being viewed.  

As with riding a bicycle, creating videos takes time and practice to become efficient using it.  An easy thing to do would be to post YouTube videos related to historical events for my World History class.  I would assign students the roles of reenacting historical events to film to show to their classmates.  Lectures could also be taped and edited for students that can't make it to class.
