How to create engaging videos

# data[].attributes.body
Use of Pear Deck and Padlet (paid apps).  The dept will also continue to use Google Classroom.

Pear Deck -- the interactive slides will allow teachers to carry out effective FA, and also plan intervention for students who are lagging behind. It is more dynamic than just Powerpoint, and is a good tool for both synchronous and asynchronous lessons.

Padlet -- easy app to use with many versatile features that are very useful for EL/Lit teaching and learning. Potential for students to be active users of padlet as a tool to do presentation and present their writing/recording in multi-modal formats.

SLS - to put up PPT slides, video recordings, give feedback (comments/rubrics), Kahoot links, etc.

Submission of works via: Google Classroom, Google Docs, SLS, Whatsapp, email, etc (we need to be flexible to receive assignments from various platforms.)

Special apps/weblinks: Clideo, Google Chrome Musiclab, Kahoot, Prezi

Google Chrome lab is an interesting tools to engage students.  Allows them to create music creatively.

Clideo is a useful video editing tool for teachers especially when making the video engaging.

Padlet usage is also useful!

All tools are good tools when we plan and use it properly to engage students based on what is it design for.

1. Sharing on The use of Desmos             Strengths - a very interactive tool to get students to check in, get some form of immediate feedback etc. It has math functions which makes it easier to include in the questions.

2. Sharing on the use of nearpod Strengths – Give students opportunities for interaction and immediate feedback by having them draw on a diagram. Lesson is created using just PPT slides and this can be easily uploaded by students too, and using nearpod to teach their peers.

3. Sharing on the use of Venngage Strengths – allow us to create concept map and infographics with more time-efficient. Useful tool to consolidate learning as summary.

1) Exploring the use of Kahoot! in science lesson.

Strengths:

Instant feedback and checking for understanding

Vast resource

Good for revision

Gamification element engages students and is a good break from normal lesson

Generate report for analysis

Things to watch out for:

Routine in using real names and managing the use of phones (before PLD roll out)

Plan follow-up actions to close the learning gaps

Content must be short and clear

Need to match students’ cognitive level. For example, it may not be suitable for heuristic training.

And some less known features.

2) Share SAMR model in integrating technology into lessons

The SAMR Model is a framework created by Dr. Ruben Puentedura that categorizes four different degrees of classroom technology integration. The letters "SAMR" stand for Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition.
