Make Good Videos

Aims

This microsite supports teachers to be better at making videos.

It contains PD material and a collection of bite-sized, hands-on exercises.

Making or editing videos take time. It is a trade-off against time that we can spend doing other things for our pupils.

Therefore,  we choose to invest the time if

• you want to videos in which students can see you "in person" for the delivery.

• there are good visuals you want students to see, but want to change the audio/narration to be exactly the way you want it. 

Operational Idea

We aim for teachers to

•  spend the minimal amount of time doing recording

• quickly extract the recorded video files 

• then work on our own laptops thereafter at our own time own target

Most of the PD videos in this microsite are cut-down from the original, full length versions.

What are videos good for?

Videos allow us to

• curate resources

• showcase the best performances of colleagues

• create visualizations that support knowledge building

We should aim for videos that are "good enough", meaning

• the flow and content is based on good pedagogy

• the video is self-explanatory to be viewed and digested by students

• we can foresee other teachers using it
