The content based materials I have
prepared are for grade six. The topic is introducing relating volume to capacity
to volume from Mathematics subject. The main objectives of the materials are to
let students compare volume with capacity correctly after watching video
tutorial. The tool I have used here is Camtasia. Camtasia is good for video
editing and very easy to learn for the beginner.
To design this material, first I
have prepared a PowerPoint presentation about capacity to volume referring text
book and then screen recorded using Camtasia. I have designed a background using
different colors and adjusted in center. This background is used all across
the slides. I have used several animations like appear, fade, disappear, wipe
in order to grab the student’s attention and not to distract them. I have
created pictures using different shapes to make the concept interesting and understandable.
The content based material that I have
designed can be used during lesson development. The video can be used in information
input under lesson development in teaching the concepts to students because all
the information is clearly explained with voice narration. Teacher can stop the
video when it reaches to calculation part because continuing video will make
them confused about the concept. We can also use the video while carrying out
the activity. Revisit of the video will make them understand the calculation
part better.
