Students learning through making tutorial

videos

• Identify key concepts to teach

• Think like a teacher – plan the sequence of the lesson

• Write a script – most of us don’t ad lib well

• Think about visuals – what will they see?

• Succinct = good (5 minute limitation for screenr videos)

• Don’t write long text during recording – you probably

can’t write & talk fluently at the same time, anyway

• Smallest possible screen capture area - but no smaller

• I have a pause button , and I’m not afraid to use it!

• Enter a description of what you made

• Where do you publish to?

• Screenr.com

• Export to YouTube – larger audience

• How do you share it?

• Link on blog, wiki, Google Document…

• Embed in portal, wiki or blog…

• Share all student tutorials in one location – a large

collection is exponentially more useful than single videos

scattered all over the place
