Free Course - A Teacher's Guide to Creating Common Craft Style Videos | Free Technology for Teachers

Free Course - A Teacher's Guide to Creating Common Craft Style Videos | Free Technology for Teachers | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

For more than a dozen years Common Craft videos have been used by teachers to help students understand topics including digital citizenship, personal finance, and many big technology concepts. One of the things that makes Common Craft videos popular is the clear and concise manner in which information is presented using a whiteboard, simple cutouts, and voice over. That style has become known as the Common Craft style and many teachers including myself have had students make videos using that style. Now Common Craft offers their own free course for teachers who want to make Common Craft style videos in their classrooms.

This is a video of the talk that I gave at IATEFL this year, looking at Brown and Levinson's model of Politeness Theory and how that can be used to help think about not so much WHAT we say in feedback, but HOW we say it.

Interesting short video. Applies to teaching as well as teacher training.

Valentina Acevedo's curator insight, October 3, 2018 8:15 PM
Considering that I will be an English teacher, I consider that it is relevant to know hot to provide an appropiate feedback not only for my students, but also to colleagues. When we do this kind of activities in the classroom, we do not feel comfortable because it is a hard task since we do not want to make our partners uncomfortables however, we  need to do this kind of activities to give and receive feedback in order to develop our teaching skills.

Developing Digital Literacies with Saudi Arabian HEIs

Developing Digital Literacies with Saudi Arabian HEIs | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it

A delegation from Saudi Arabia have participated in a workshop on the strategic use of digital technology and skills development as part of a series of events planned for their visit to the UK, Germany and Washington D.C.

 

have just come back running a day and half workshop around the Strategic Use of TEL in Higher Education - it was a specific workshop to start off a series of events and workshops for the NCEL International Courses, organised by The International Academy for Educational Consultancy and Professional Development http://www.iaecpd.com/.  The group that I had the pleasure of working with was a group of academics and senior managers from Saudi Arabia.  

 

The prezi I used can be accessed here: http://prezi.com/yjbtwgo5jbfw/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy 

 

The group will be spending around 10 days in the UK and will be exploring a range of activities using a variety of tools, including iPads. Throughout the workshop they identified how important digital literacies were to any kind of innovation.  One of the most interesting activities was a look at the challenges associated with becoming an innovative institution, this sparked some interesting conversations.

It was great fun, and I hope that they enjoy their time in the UK (and come back soon!)

Presenting is an essential skill for communicating research, but unfortunately it is not a skill researchers get much guidance on. Sarah Knowles pulls together some general advice on giving an engaging and informative talk. There should be some kind of added value for your audience coming to hear you speak, and careful consideration of the content and the format will ensure they leave with a thought-provoking take-home message. And always remember: You are a better speaker than you think you are.
