Using Videos and Audio to Enhance Student Experience

A few words to start:

First off- this website was originally used in 2017 when Sandy Ploe and I used it to first introduce Screencasting in Google and I recently added an updated video.

I also used this for a graduate school exemplar so some of the site was rearranged for a project.

• Videos can be used to enhance the learning experience
  • YouTube clips can be easily uploaded to your Google Classroom- simply click on a class, create "Material", and import the video from YouTube
  • If using a DVD, you can easily create assignments and upload them to classroom
  • With Hapara equipped accounts, links can be pushed out to students, and student screens can then be 'locked' on assignments to incorporate audio/viode for tests
• Videos in the classroom can be a different way to present your own information
  • Screencastify and other personal recording software allows you to record your own lectures or presentations
• Audio offers additional possibilities
  • Many PodCasts can be linked into Classroom or onto a Google Doc
  • Similiar to video, audio can be incorporated into tests and locked onto the screens, or utilize the classroom PA system
  • Using "Sound Recorder" on your computer, nothing more than a microphone is needed to create an audio file to use as a makeshift podcast
    • Finding a platform like "Anchor" can be used easily and for no cost as well
    • This allows you to create your own content
      • Lectures, stories, original compositions can all be recorded and used for various purposes
• Find what works for you!
  • Your discipline, your subject matter, and your own individual needs can allow you to be as creative as you would like/need!
