One of the really cool parts of my new job is being surrounded by opportunities. One of the opportunities I’ve had is being able to take what our school has done in the past and try and improve it slightly. The hope is to make things run more smooth and efficiently for everyone. I’ve found during the first semester on the job, I’ve found one of the easiest ways to communicate effectively is to use a video to show rather than tell.
Maybe this is how I’ve gotten the nickname “the video guy” but it seems to me that I’d always rather see things than be told things. A video has the added benefit of being able to rewind and watch again. Knowing what needs to be in a video is the biggest challenge.
Some of the types of videos I’ve gotten to create this year include screencasts, instructional videos, and even some drone footage! It has been a learning experience, but it sure has been fun!
