”Low-effort” use of mobile technologies and video in the classroom
Abstract: The paper presents best practice experiences of the use of the mobile phones’ video functionality in the classroom. Creating own videos to use in learning situations usually demand a lot of time and work (planning, preparing, recording, editing and publishing the video). The aim of this project was to find low effort use of mobile technologies and video, but at the same time increase learning. This was accomplished by the use of the youth’s own mobile phones, which nowadays have video functionality, in a learning situation where student groups learning ergonomics were preparing, recording, presenting and evaluating videos. The teacher created a “Behind the scenes”-video, which also was experienced to have pedagogical value.
