This week Rich Mccue did a presentation in our classroom teaching us about the educational utility of videos as an educational tool and how including tools such as H5P can increase the interactive nature of the video and increase viewer focus and retention. H5P allows us to place interactive questionnaires and activities within our videos therefore allowing viewers to have a more tailored connection with the video. We as students were going to be tasked with generating H5P embedded videos in our weekly reflection however, this pursuit was cut short when the server was stunted by too many students trying in short time. Rich was very understanding of the technical issues and allowed us to reflect without the inclusion of the H5P attachments.

I will be able to use the H5P tool within my classrooms as in future my desired teachable subjects are biology, foods and french. This leaves a huge opportunity for a class assignment in which I could have students generate either a recipe video, biology video or french video and attach H5P interactive tools in the video. This would provide useful study tools for other students in the class as they could cover class subjects that would in future feature on a quiz or exam. It provides an avenue to enjoy a class assignment for its nuance and creative element while still having a profound learning value.
