Videos can be an effective tool for teaching and learning English (or, for that matter, any academic subject) if used strategically and not as a "babysitting" device. My colleague Katie Hull Sypnieski and I wrote a previous post for Edutopia titled Eight Ways To Use Videos With English-Language Learners that shares instructional strategies for many kinds of clips. Here are a few of my favorite videos to use with those exercises. Via John Evans

Through the Periscope app, students can take virtual field trips, observe demos, and collaborate. Parents can find greater involvement in their children's learning and school community. Via Bookmarking Librarian

I really need to get on Periscope! Are you there, yet? Can someone share with me how you like it better than Skype or Google Hangout? Are they archived?

This post looks at the use of Periscope to connect classrooms to the world. This use of technology in learning has many great impacts that may not be seen in classrooms otherwise.

Strategy 1: Never Project to the Whole Class Student devices and simple strategies render whole-class video projection obsolete. When students view video individually, they can watch at their own pace by pausing and rewinding. They can be assessed and engaged at their own pace. A video projected to the whole class lives in the recesses…

I just started using Hyperlapse last week, mostly showing students coming and going in the library. I am going to use some of Cassie's suggestions! Update: Since I gave up my iPhone to join the rest of the family with Samsung devices, I've been using the TimeMovie Android app. I did make some great videos to showcase how much the library is used!

GwynethJones's insight:
"My class used Final Cut Express to show we have our eyes on our goals!" --Pretty cool! Shows what creativity & active enthusiastic kiddos can do! A project like this takes longer than you would think to produce - teachers who want to create videos featuring kids should also consider non-editing choices like Vine. An iMovie takes me about one hour per minute to edit! So, if you're gonna do this with a class create small groups or like this video the whole class!

There are several great tips in here that I didn't know, and it would have made the Hangout a little cleaner visually.
