“Making Your Videos:It’s Easier Than You Think-I Promise!” Presented by: Shannon M. Green, M. Ed Phoenix II-Pre-AP/IB/GT Allen High School
Positives • Saves time • Good for remediation • Good for differentiation • Good for parents • Good for kids
Negatives • Time consuming • Technical Difficulties • Not all kids have access at home • YouTube is blocked at school, but Vimeo is not
Hardware and Software Needed • Microphone (Plug-In Play) • No software needed • USB Web Cam (Plug-In Play) • Smart Recorder (found in your Smart Notebook on your school computer). • Document to Comment on • Electronic document: MsWord, MsPowerPoint, or MsExcel OR a website • Confidence and some Jokes
Pre-recording Prep • Close Outlook • Open the document, spreadsheet, website, or PowerPoint that you want to make comments about
How to Record • Open Smart Recorder • It will appear at the bottom right of your screen • Choose your Video Format: • AVI (QuickTime) • This will play on PCs and MACs • Choose the area you want to record • You can select an area OR you can record full screen…it is up to you. • After choosing your area, the recorder will begin recording…so just be yourself and talk. • If you need to pause, click the “pause” button. • When you are done recording, click the “stop” button.
Finish Recording • If you need to pause, hit the pause button • When you finish recording, click “stop” • You will be prompted to save your video • Use a USB because videos take-up a lot of storage space. • In case students have difficulties opening the video, it is also important to upload your video to Vimeo or YouTube.
Uploading Videos for Access Option 1: Teacher Website • Teacher Website: you can embed your videos on your teacher website just like you would attach any other file. • Pros: students can open this at school, home, OR on their personal devices • Cons: you have to keep up with maintaining your website
Uploading Videos for Access Option 2: Uploading Videos to YouTube/Vimeo and Linking to Teacher Website: • Similar to when embedding a document on your website, now all you will do is paste the YouTube/Vimeo link to your website.
Uploading To YouTube or Vimeo • You will need a YouTube Account or Vimeo • Save your video to a USB • Upload the Video to YouTube/Vimeo • Your video will have a unique link • Copy and paste that link onto your teacher website. • Pros: students can access it anywhere on a personal device if you use Vimeo • Cons: students cannot access YouTube through the school computers because of Websense, so Vimeo is probably the better choice.

Using Videos for Absent Students and for Remediation • Keep videos on-line, so they can email you and you can direct them to go on your website, and then they won’t get behind.
