Virginie published a post on the tenth of October regarding the use of video in schooling. The post can be accessed here.

I decided to write a reply to this post because it relates directly to my last post on the use of play in the classroom. The project which Virginie describes is a perfect example of both the ideas Riebel discusses in his article. The students are incredibly motivated by the project because they are all able to pursue their own interests related to film making. The students are also involved in the design process, through which they all have different opinions and areas of expertise and they can all contribute to the project in a way that suits their talents, thereby increasing their self confidence and desire to learn.

I agree whole-heartedly with Virginie’s comments that a video production project offers amazing benefits to the languages classroom and hope to include this type of project in my own classes.
