How could I use what I've learned to teach a tough subject

In today's class I've learned to use a flip video camera to make a movie and then use movie maker to make a clip that others could see. After doing this, I think that it would be a great way to make video that could explain the subject better. My students often have a hard time learning the rock cycle. I think that I could use a video camera and the Internet to make a video that might connect better with visual learners. Also with a video, I believe that it would be possible to connect with other learning styles. Along with visual learners, it would connect with those like audio. In the video, you could show different types of rocks and possibly how they change from one type of rock to another. I think another great way might be to make up a song and make a video of it. I've also learned that there are many great podcast available and it might be possible to find a podcast that could help as well. To sum it all up, I think that in using technology to reach students can really get them to learn without realizing that they are learning. Here is video from youtube.
