A fun way that I could have students use video and audio editing in a Law 12 class would be using it to show their understanding of fouls in sports. I could have students record short clips of situations in a game that could look like tripping in soccer or a foul in basketball. Then use editing tools to highlight where a foul occurs, add voice‑over explanations, or slow down the footage to show key moments. This turns the assignment into something active and creative instead of just written work and it is also a creative way to make use of multimodal tools in the classroom. I think this assignment is a very strong way to implement technology in the classroom as it allows for students to be involved in their own learning in a new way. To make it engaging, I would let students choose their own scenarios, they could work in small groups, and use music, captions, or replay effects to make their videos feel like real sports analysis. This approach helps students learn the rules more deeply because they have to explain them clearly while also having fun with the technology.
“While often defined simplistically as “school work at home and home work at school,” Flipped Learning is an approach that allows teachers to implement a methodology, or various methodologies, in their classrooms” (FLN, 2014, What is Flipped Learning? section, para. 1).

A flipped classroom in a course like Law 12 could involve students learning core concepts such as Charter rights, legal terminology, or case backgrounds through short videos or curated readings at home, then using class time for hands-on activities like debates, case analysis, and mock trials.
