Video Diagrams – Help your students visualize your instructions

Adding animations to them not only caught the attention of the students but it really helped the students to understand what they are expected to do. The downside is that it seemed to require a certain level of technology in the classroom to utilize them effectively. You would need a screen, projector or at the very least an overhead camera. This isn’t always practical, especially if you teach at different locations and to different class sizes. I needed a way to make these diagrams more universal, so that they could be viewed from any tablet, mobile device or computer without worrying about formatting issues or installing additional apps. I decided that the best way would be to produce video diagrams. I have produced these three video diagrams for tekhnologic and they are free to download. Play the video and click on share in the top left-hand corner and you will see the option to download the video. Rotating Circles I might give the following instructions while playing the video: Take Care! Related: Resources

Zaption - Interact & Learn with Video Lessons Growth Hacker Jobs - Silk Zaption – Zanslöst bra! | Mitt Flippade Klassrum I tisdags var jag i Ronneby och föreläste för gymnasie/komvux-lärare om flippat klassrum med förmågor i fokus. Under föreläsningen hade jag inslag av interaktion, bl.a. fick pedagogerna möjlighet att själva, med hjälp av den digitala anslagstavlan Padlet, synliggöra olika metoder och verktyg som de använder i sitt klassrum. Ett av namnen som kom upp på vår padlet var Zaption, en av deltagarna berättade att Zaption är ett fantastiskt verktyg när man arbetar med flippat klassrum. Zaption ger användarna en möjlighet att dela flippar, men även en möjlighet att lägga in frågeställningar inne i flippen, vilket gör eleverna mer aktiva under tiden de tittar. Jag blev nyfiken och ville ta reda på mer. Nu blev jag givetvis så nyfiken att jag var tvungen att skapa ett konto på Zaption. Du får en rundtur i form av en flipp när du loggar in, här får du en kort överblick över de funktioner som finns och hur du ska göra för att använda verktyget. Då får jag fram några olika alternativ. Ps.

Is an internet connection really necessary in the classroom? There is a lot to say when it comes to technology in ELT and we all know that the discussion will never end as to whether use technology in the classroom or leave it and stick to our own traditional methods. (Keep in mind that 20 years later, what we have now as ‘high tech’ will be considered ‘traditional’ and the discussion will still be there!) The solution is as easy as ‘we still have a lot of easy-to-use, internet-free tools and resources, don’t we?’ Here is a list of the main things I have been using for the last year while training Malaysian language teachers with the British Council where we have had to deal with poor connectivity: 1. Microsoft Office Suite Tools 1.1 Microsoft Word When we have access to a computer lab, writing, commenting, editing and completing exercises happens in a simple word document. 1.2 Microsoft Powerpoint 2. Most people have mobile phones with cameras these days which basically means they have photo albums in their pockets! 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.
