Creating videos

11/24/2013

Students can use www.animoto.com to create impressive videos to showcase their language skills. Instead of traditional ice breakers, why not ask groups to work together to create a film introducing themselves in target language? 
www.voki.com is a good alternative for the camera shy as they can select an avatar to present their recordings.

Adding subtitles to videos

11/24/2013

There have been some useful suggestions on twitter today on how to subtitle videos. Firstly thanks to @candidagould for this suggestion. www.amara.org/en/ and also for the suggestion that students could subtitle their own videos. This is a great idea in the lead up to speaking exams and controlled assessments. 
@joedale also recommends www.dotsub.com  for subtitling. 
I've mentioned before the idea if showing students adverts with the sound off so the can write their own script - they could use these to add their own subtitles also perhaps.

Recording starters and instructions

Today my class had the pleasure of two Mrs Whiteheads in the room. I recorded my introduction using an app called explaineverything. It's really easy to use and allows you to save to movie roll. It was interesting to be able to prepare the next task and watch the students whilst the 'other me' introduced the new vocabulary. I had to chuckle when asked "Is this you miss or is it from YouTube?"
