Hi this is Russell Stannard from teacher training videos.com I've had loads of questions this week
about Russell what can we do if we can't do a face-to-face class and we need to record our
lesson or record the learning content well the answer is you need to use a technology called
screen capture technology it's everywhere people who were building online courses and blended
learning courses are using it all the time I'm a big user of it I'm gonna demonstrate one of
the products there are many many products and I'm gonna show you how you can use it
to record a PowerPoint or talk over pictures or talk over documents etc really is a useful tool
and it's great if you can't come into the class to teach your students and you need to produce some
learning input hope you like the video as always if you do please like it please share it with
other teachers please any comments or questions leave them below and if it is good and you really
like it and please join me on my youtube channel let's get started so let's imagine that I wanted
to record this presentation as a PowerPoint slide and then send it to my students how can I do that
what would be the easiest way well what I can do is I can use what we call a screen capture or a
screencasting technology that is I can mark the area of the object that I want to record turn on
screen capture and record my voice and then go through the slides so for example I'm going to
use a technology that I really like called Snagit but there are many of these technologies people
often say to me Oh Russell why do you talk about Snagit Snagit isn't free yes it isn't free but
I use these technologies so often that I like to use a really reliable one and Snagit does a lot of
things including it lets me edit I can also add my webcam it's got really quick processor so in terms
of actually producing the video and so I'd rather spend a little bit of money I think this cost $30
the educational version once you pay for it you've got it forever but yes there are lots of free
tools you can glue right screen capture technology or screen cast technology into Google you'll find
many of these tools I've worked with Jing I've worked with screen toaster I've worked with match
where I've worked with screencast-o-matic but after using many of these tools I need something
reliable and quick because I'm often producing videos so I use Snagit I click on video I click
on capture and I just mark the area that I want to record now you don't need to go fullscreen
because when you mark out this area and you play it back there are so many pixels these days in an
image that it'll look fine when you play it back then I just click on this button here and start
so let's imagine I'm going to do the recording good morning ladies and gentlemen and today we're
going to look at the topic of acquiring vocabulary when you're trying to learn a language my name is
Russell Stannard and I work for teacher training videos calm now press on the pause button then I'm
going to click click to the next slide ok and just carry on what we're going to do today is
look at what we understand about how recovery is acquired we're going to look at some of the
approaches that I take to actually looking at actually studying vocab and we're gonna draw on
some ideas from my own studies of Polish . go to the next screen carry on Richard Mayer bla bla bla
bla bla all right so I've done the video now all finished I click on stop and I can click on play
good morning ladies and gentlemen and today we're gonna look at the topic of acquiring now that's
it the video is now done and it's ready and that is why I love Snagit because it's so quick so I'm
going to click on a file save as I'm gonna save this onto my desktop and I'm going to call this
test video record lesson and then save that and then what I'm gonna do now is just show you what
that would actually look like so if we come back onto my desktop there is the video video let's
just quickly come watch it good morning ladies and gentlemen and today we're gonna look at the
topic of acquiring vocabulary and you can see how good quality is even at full screen and now what I
can do with that video is upload it I could upload it onto it mod or I could upload it onto YouTube I
could upload it into my Google Drive and then what I can do is share the link to the video and then
the students would be able to access it now I tend to do two things and I'm going to show you both I
tend to either upload the video to edit model and then my students log into it model and they can
play the video or I upload it on to my YouTube channel and then I share the link so I'm going
to show you both of those approaches now so I've got the video here good morning and I can actually
edit that video a little bit so for example let's imagine I wanted to cut this last bit out I can go
to the end go to where I want to cut it out from and then notice that right now shows me cut and I
can actually cut that part the video so you can do a small amount of editing and now I'm gonna
do is I'm going to click on share and I'm going to actually upload this video to YouTube so I'm
going to click on send to YouTube now all you need to do is to link your YouTube account to
your Snagit and once you've done it once then it will always work I mean akka and I just simply
write in test video tt v1 and I always have to give a quick description so I'm just going to
write test and then I'm gonna just write as you always have to give one tag I'm gonna set it as
unlisted that's the easiest one to do because it means that nobody can find the video on YouTube
it's not a searchable video but if you have the link you can share the link with the students
now I click on upload and then almost immediately that video will be uploaded and it will then tell
me that the video has been uploaded there it is I'm gonna click on get link now that means I've
now copied that link now what I could do now is send my students an email or I could put the link
up online and the students could click on the link and they would be able to actually access my video
let me show you so for example I'm going to right email dear students here is the video remember it
I clicked on the button that said copy link so if I paste that link is actually at the moment
it's actually in my what we call the clipboard because I it copied it for me Russell that's a
simple way for me to actually grab upload a video and to share it with my students now that's one
possibility there are other possibilities let me show you how we could upload the video onto
YouTube now another way would be to simply go on to your YouTube channel go to one of your classes
so I'm in my ed model training group here and then I simply click on this button and say watch this
video for example I click on this button here attach file and all I need to do now is to go
to the desktop remember I save that video on my desktop I'm just going to simply find that
video now there it is click on that click on open and then wait for the video to load and then post
it so now again I've got another way of sharing a video so that my students can actually access
my lesson now are there any other ways well yes in fact there are many many I'm going to show you
one other way if you have a Google account another thing you can do is just link your Google account
so let's just come back again to link your Google account and you have something called your Google
Drive so if I click on share and come down to my Google Drive send to Google Drive you can
also do it this way so I'm just going to put here test video okay teacher training videos one now I
don't need to select a folder automatically all of the videos will be added into a folder called
TechSmith which you will find on your Google Drive again all you need to do is to add your
gmail account and then click on uploads now the same things going to happen that videos gonna be
uploaded and I can see it being uploaded here once it's uploaded get link exactly the same now what
I'm gonna do is I'm actually gonna paste that link into a browser so you can see that video so if I
open up a browser now and then I'm gonna paste in that link so I'm gonna click on paste because
remember we copied the link and if we press ENTER now a few times it does take a few seconds for
this video it doesn't quite process the video as quickly on your Google Drive as it does within
youtube YouTube's very very powerful but I can see that it is actually ready I can click on the
button and then play the video so is that simple as another way of actually sharing the video now
I want to come back to one other thing now now I want to show you another idea that I often use
when I'm working with Snagit again for making learning material to share with students what
I've got here is a series of pictures if we just click through we've got one here and then we've
got another one number one and we've got number one etc now what I'm going to do is I'm gonna
open up Snagit I'm going to kind of mark an area it's not gonna be perfect this but this this will
work and I do this technique quite a lot and what I'm gonna do is I'm literally gonna talk through
the pictures now this could be a history lesson or a geography lesson or it could be anything
architecture where I want to talk through a series of pictures so I'm going to start with this one I
click on the button so I'm going to talk about picture one now I'm going to talk about picture
two now I'm going to talk about picture three now I'm going to talk about picture for now I'm
going to talk about picture five and again once I finish it just click on the stop button and that
video is made so we'll talk about picture one now I'm going to talk about picture two now I'm going
to talk about picture three and that is a really powerful way again of producing learning content
that you may need to create with your students just working through pictures now the only trick
to doing that and I will point it out is that you need all the pictures to be in the same
folder and that's the reason why you can click from one picture to the next because they're all
so together in the one folder now the next idea that I'm gonna demo to you is the one that I'm
most interested in that's using screen capture to give feedback to our students you'll see in
a minute how powerful it is it was the reason I won my awards for the work I've done and it really
is a great way of giving feedback to students and building a relationship with them through teacher
presence let me highlight now how this would be so let's imagine that this is a student's work ok
and I've noticed a few things in their work that I want to give them some feedback on so I'm gonna
now open up Snagit and I'm gonna mark the area on the screen that I want to talk about I don't need
to go full screen because I can always scroll through and I'm just going to imagine now that
I'm talking to this student let's imagine this students name's Tom hi Tom yeah I just want to
give you some feedback on your work first thing is can you give a bit more of an explanation of what
you mean by cognitive overload and just make sure it's absolutely clear cognitive overload
how that applies to both the visual as well as to the auditory channels because I don't think
you're making that point very clearly so could you just go through that and just kind of just give
a longer definition now again here I'm not happy with your use of sensory memory you're not really
explaining what sensory memory is how sensory memory is limited so could you again and a little
bit more on what the sensory memory is just coming down to here I really like the way you introduce
the link between the sensory memory and the working memory but what I'd like you to do here
is to make sure again that you distinguish between the two and contrast these two different types of
memory blah-blah-blah-blah-blah see now I've got this video hi Tom yeah I just want to give you
some feedback on your work first thing is can you give a bit more of an explanation now that imagine
extending that now as a video to your students to give them feedback on their work now this is
something I've been doing for many many years as I said it was for the the the kind area that got
me really interested in using screen capture technology and this is absolutely brilliant in
an online course because often on online courses you're not meeting your students and so for you to
send them a personalized video with their feedback and you can see how quick it is to do that that
is a really effective way of giving feedback to students just a super quick piece of promotion
from me if you are interested in Snagit then I do run some Snagit courses you can see advertised on
the front page of the teacher training videos.com or simply click on the Snagit section loads of
free videos showing you how to use Snagit and you can click here to get information about
the course as well right let's get back to the video ok really hope that was useful hope you
like my idea around feedback there's lots of research around that idea around now as well
but I originally wrote about that way back in 2006 you can see how easy Snagit is to use there's lots
more videos on using Snagit if you just come to my website and look at the top you'll see all sorts
of different technologies including Snagit if you like my work and you want to keep up with it well
then please follow me on my newsletter that way you keep updated with all the latest posts and
blog posts and webinars and online courses that I'm running and new videos and then the
other thing that you can do is to follow me on my youtube channel and that way if you do that
then you'll get the latest videos that go up onto YouTube finally if you want to contact me perhaps
invite me to do a workshop or a presentation at your institution or conference or if you're
looking for online training if you want me to help you to use a certain tool or to learn to
teach online then I do run online courses as well and at the moment those are quite popular because
people are really interested in teaching online then please contact me and thank you very much
