Language teacher Miss Wybrow from The Clere School in Hampshire has been helping her Yr10 pupils learn how to form the future tense in French by getting them to record a visual explanation of it on a mobile phone. I'm sure you'll agree the pupils' performance is highly effective and it is clear they are well prepared. It also seems clear that they are enjoying working on this collaborative task by their facial expressions and the plan is for them to make a whole series of grammar podcasts of this kind to help them to revise for their GCSE exams next year.
Here is the RSS feed so you can keep track of any future episodes in Google Reader: http://missvww.blip.tv/rss
Creating video podcasts in this way will no doubt help them to embed the key concepts of the essential points of grammar they will need to know and also allow them to watch the results of their efforts as many times as they want on their home computers, mobile phones or other handheld devices.
Well done Miss!
Have a look at this earlier post Making perfect sense with old and new tech for further ideas on how you can make useful videos for distance learning.
What a brilliant idea! Thank you. I will show this video podcast to my year 10.
