Engage Students with Flipped Video Tasks

Engage Students with Flipped Video Tasks | Tools for Teachers & Learners | Scoop.it
One of the major criticisms of this method though is that a dull unengaging content doesn't suddenly become engaging because it's on a video on the web, so how do we get students to engage with the content and make sure they watch it in a challenging and interactive way.

Vialogues is a useful tool for attempting to do this (though dull content will always be dull) because it enables you to create interaction around the video that actually gets students to think about and engage with the content.
Nik Peachey's insight:

A great way to create blended learning.

Fiona Harvey's curator insight, February 23, 2018 12:44 PM
Just love the idea of this and would be great to explore in practice.

Learning a language does not only involve communication in a common conversation, it is also neccesary to learn about cultural aspects, and the humor in another language is very helpful. With this tool, students will be able to understand many expresions, spend some good time laughting, and learn a new language at the same time. I am sure that all students will enjoy this tool, and the best part is that they will be very engaged while learning.

– Stories for teaching English!

– Stories for teaching English! | Tools for Teachers & Learners | Scoop.it

We search for stories and we are lucky to find them. More often than not, they find us!

These stories often need a loving touch before they are ready to use for teaching, training or presentation purposes (in our case, mainly teaching and mainly English as a foreign language). So we give them an editing cuddle. They may be half-baked lessons but the stories themselves are ready to reach you.

Nik Peachey's insight:

Looks like a great project. I just signed up.
