Videos can be a terrific way to convey nutrition information. I made this video a few years ago to show how we were teaching informatics to dietetics students at the time:
Here’s what I used to put it together:
- iMovie 08
- PowerPoint 2007
- A point-and-shoot camera
- A USB microphone
- Images from choosemyplate.gov
- Word cloud from Tagxedo.com
- Images from morguefile.com
- Music from Zoe Keating
- Many, many hours learning video and audio editing
The only constant is change, and now I’m using this video to help teach about making videos. For example, I was careful to make sure that all elements of my video followed the rules of copyright, and that I gave credit where credit was due.
