So I experimented in teaching with
interactive fiction on flash drives for my students, and now I've decided to
incorporate the flash drives in other types of projects.
One of the projects I have my
students do is to review a mystery movie. In groups they watch the film for
clues. In the past I would have to conduct this all myself, showing clips upon
a majority vote. Now, with VLC portable and its bookmarks feature, students
will be able to review the film in their own groups, watching only those clips
they find important to their particular case.
I'm eager to try this out, and
already trying to come up with more ways to integrate the flash drives into my
teaching.
