By creating videos which explain a learner's understanding, a teacher can gain insight into their application of the vocabulary they have been introduced to. This will develop a learner's literacy skills. This video is an example of what could be created in the classroom using Adobe Express.
To create this example, a teacher could:
set a success criterion of vocabulary to be used
set a criteria of areas to be included
Learners would then:
write a script of what they will say
break their script down into different parts
record and add media to support each element
self-assess against the success criteria
peer-assess the video of a learning partner
