Product Information
Product Description
Video has become one of the most powerful ways students think, draft, revise, and communicate. Yet in many classrooms, video is still treated as a final product instead of a serious writing process.Video Is the New Writing Process challenges educators to rethink what composition looks like in the age of AI. Reginald Parker argues that students are not simply replacing essays with videos. They are learning to make meaning across words, images, voice, sequence, timing, audience, and design.Drawing from classroom practice, instructional design, multimodal composition, and AI literacy, this book offers educators a practical framework for helping students move from blank-page anxiety to purposeful creation. It shows how video can support planning, drafting, revision, feedback, reflection, and student ownership.Inside, readers will explore:How video changes the way students compose and communicateWhy the blank page can create cognitive barriers for learnersHow storyboards, scripts, voice, visuals, and timelines function as writing surfacesHow AI can support, but not replace, human thinkingHow teachers can design learning experiences where students explain, defend, revise, and publish their ideas with purposeThis book is for educators, instructional coaches, school leaders, curriculum designers, and EdTech professionals who believe students need more than tool access.
