Kapwing for video collaboration in the language classroom

6/8/2020

0 Comments

 
This is a demonstration video of how you can use Kapwing in the language classroom. Thank you to Melissa Gould-Drakeley for her collaboration and enthusiasm on this project.
Kapwing is a great tool which enables a number of people to collaborate on editing and producing a video from different places at different times. In the language classroom, this is ideal for students to work on video assessments without needing to be free at the same time or in the same place.
​It could also be used to create videos with students at other schools for example, other target language speakers overseas or in rural areas. This could be a great way for schools or classes that have students who are the only background speaker to connect with background speakers at other schools to work on projects together.
Kapwing is a very easy to navigate tool where you can add audio, subtitles, edit and share your project. In addition to the language demonstration video, here are some handy informational videos too.
How to edit videos with Kapwing and how to add subtitles to Kapwing videos.
We hope you and your students enjoy Kapwing as much as we did!

Using learning from home tools in the face-to-face space

28/5/2020

0 Comments

 
During COVID-19, teachers were abruptly thrown into the online learning world and many had to quickly upskill both themselves and their students. New technology skills, resources, collaborations and interactions emerged, largely thanks to teachers’ creativity, passion and resilience.

As schools re-commence face-to-face teaching, this is an opportunity to identify and continue to use the digital tools which support engaging learning environments and interactions between you and your students.

This short, easy-to-read guide has some ideas for ways you could continue to use those tools in the face-to-face learning space, including:
  • - teaching practice
  • - online presentation and communication
  • - screen recording
  • - online learning activities
  • - collaboration and group work
  • - virtual tours
  • - online assessment notification and support
  • - evidence of learning
  • - feedback techniques
  • - virtual statewide staffroom and online meetings.
