5 Steps to Making Videos

This resource from Edutopia has practical tips and examples for teachers recording instructional videos. Below is a brief summary of each tip.

1. Chunk Instruction - Multiple short videos are better than one long video.

2. Build Video-Ready Slides - Use visual cues to highlight key information, and minimize the use of on-screen text.

3. Record -Using earbuds/headphones with a mic can significantly enhance the sound quality of a video. See several tools for recording above.

4. Enhance Engagement - Use tools like Edpuzzle or Flipgrid.

5. Be Yourself - Videos in which the instructor speaks in a natural, conversational manner, with an enthusiastic tone, are the most engaging.
