TIC & Educación

Short videos from YouTube and other sources can be quite helpful in introducing topics to students and or reinforcing concepts that you have taught. Watching the video can be enough for some students, it's better if we can call students' attention to specific sections of videos while they are watching them. The following tools allow you to add comments and questions to videos that you share with your students.

This morning at the Colonial Tech Conference in New Castle, Delaware I gave a short presentation on video projects for students. Judging by the audience's feedback, one of the most popular elements of the presentation was a demonstration on how to use YouTube's video annotation tool to create a choose-your-own-adventure series of videos. In the video embedded below I provide a demonstration of how to do that.

El vídeo como recurso didáctico presenta una serie de características, que le permiten estar presente en distintos momentos del proceso educativo en nuestras aulas: com Medio de Observación, como Medio de Expresión, como Medio de Autoaprendizaje y como Medio de Ayuda a la Enseñanza. 

En Inevery Crea todos los miércoles compartimos tutoriales de herramientas con las que trabajamos habituálmente en el aula y hoy añadimos a nuestro   KITPROFES Verano 2015 5 herramientas dinámicas para la creación de vídeos.

Adding annotations to YouTube videos is a good way to add little bubbles of information to a video or to create a series of choose your own adventure videos. A great example of using annotations in student-produced videos can befound here. In the video embedded below I provide directions for adding annotations to your YouTube videos. You can also find screenshots of the process in this post.
