Video Notes

Check the resources document re safety when using youtube & how to watch videos offline. Use Edpuzzle to add questions to an existing video

How I might use video to support learning & assessment

-       School trips

-       Drama

-       Explanatory videos

-       Assessing PE

Taking part in www.físfilmproject.ie seems like a great idea. Lots of support from Fís re downloading sound clips etc. Great way for children to work collaboratively.  Great integration opportunity as you can link videos with storyboards & integrate writing, art, science etc.

Using Videos to support SEN Students

-       Engage gifted students

-       Make reading more accessible when supported by video

-       Great communication tool

Interesting differences were yielded when using different search engines:
Searching volcano on Google yields some results with language such as 'devastating, shocking etc.' Searching volcano on Kiddle & on KidRex gave information that would be useful for projects without the 'shock factor'!

Using Kiddle & KidRex in the classroom seems like a great idea for researching projects.
