We think it might be a good idea for you to practise making a

video or a screencast presenting a grammar structure or

some vocabulary items to learners you typically teach.

 Choose a grammar structure or some items of vocabulary.

 Think about how you’re going to present it in context and
how you’re going to clarify the meaning, form and
pronunciation.
 Create a video that’s no more than about five minutes
long.
 When you have finished, share your video on our Padlet
here.
 Watch one or two other videos and think about how you
could improve yours.

Note - some advice from Lindsay

If you decide to create a video, we suggest that you do one of

two things:

1. Use the Video option in Padlet and record it directly onto

the site.

OR

1. Use the camera on your mobile device or laptop/PC, save

the video in the cloud (e.g. Google Drive or Dropbox) and
then share a link to that file on our Padlet.

If you choose to create a screencast, you could use one of

these tools: app Explain Everything (a small cost),
or Educreations (free for a basic account). Alternatively, if you
have a recent edition of Microsoft PowerPoint, you can use
the Record Slideshow option in Slide Show (top menu bar).
You can find tutorials on how to use each of these tools on sites
such as YouTube. Search for the name of the tool and the word
‘tutorial’ and select one that’s fairly up to date.
Once you’ve created your screencast, save it in the cloud,
sharing a link to our Padlet. Remember, it doesn’t have to be
perfect! In class, you might stumble over your words a little. If
you do the same in your video, it’s fine. It just makes you come
across as natural.
