How to Turn PowerPoint and Google Slides Into Narrated Videos | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

We're halfway through 2020. This week I'm taking some time off from the blog to work on some other projects. The rest of this week I'm going to re-run some of the most popular posts and videos of the year so far. 

Video Puppet is a new service that launched in late March. It turns your PowerPoint slides into narrated videos. If you're a Google Slides user you can download your slides as a PowerPoint file to then use in Video Puppet.

Now that almost all of your teaching is done remotely (at least temporarily) you are probably thinking about alternative ways to enhance students learning and create optimal learning experiences for them. Screencast videos are one way among many to help you do that. You can use them to create tutorials, video feedback, guides, explainers, video lessons, and many more. You can also use them to "provide personalized video mentorship and receive student responses to drive thoughtful conversations and collaborative thinking."

Online Learning Resources for people moving online in a hurry. – Dave’s Educational Blog

Online Learning Resources for people moving online in a hurry. – Dave’s Educational Blog | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

Before our Friday online teaching class I tweeted out a request for suggestions for the ONE THING that people would send someone if they were moving online for the first time.

 

The response was amazing. There are so many great educators out there doing good work right now, and so much good work that’s been done that is super useful to the situation we are all in. I have made an attempt to grab some of these links and put a little context around them so that people can skim through them. It’s the least I could do. Many folks delete their tweets nowadays, and looking through a twitter thread can be exhausting. I’m sorry if I missed your tweet. You can just add it to the end of the doc. I’ll check occasionally and sort them.

It was among the first online gay-pride festivals of the Covid-19 era, a private experience of joy and camaraderie. In the future, it may influence how scholars write the history of this period of mass disruption.
