Synchronous (Session) Building Your Personal Video Library more

Sat, Nov 6, 14:00-14:45 Asia/Seoul

Many teachers overestimate the difficulty of creating personalized videos for their classes. It can be fun and easy to build up a library of videos on a wide range of topics applicable to ESL, EFL, and other subject-based courses. This workshop will take participants through a few basic strategies designed to kickstart the creative process. For one, we will be looking at some lesson types that can be enhanced by personalized videos. We will also discuss the ways in which videos can allow for leveling. Most importantly, we will discuss the reality that making "perfect videos" is not the goal. The value of the videos is not their production value, it is the personal touch it will allow you to give your lessons. Small investments of time, compounded over a few years, will pay off a vast dividend of fun and useful videos that are very "you!" This workshop is an opportunity for teachers who want to try bringing more modern technology into their lesson planning, but don't know where to start. MYSTERY EASTER EGG
