This paper describes an intensive 2‐hr workshop designed to introduce preservice teachers to digital video in the context of an instructional technology course or as a stand‐alone activity. Acknowledging time constraints in most real‐life instructional situations, this format takes novices with no or very limited knowledge of video making to the point where they have experienced most of the steps involved in crafting a finished (though almost certainly unpolished) digital video. Conversations introduce project‐based collaborative learning as the pedagogical context for digital video production, the value of supporting a sense of creativity in students to promote deeper engagement with subject matter through hands‐on activities, and how to involve a variety of learning modalities as opposed to predominantly passive reading and listening. Possible extensions like time‐lapsed video are discussed.
