Free Resources - Video ideas to help your teaching and learning
During this Summer, we held a unique event for us, the first Innovative Teachers Summer Camp, where we invited 10 of our innovative teachers to develop some classroom
resources. Their task was to begin creating short, 3-5 minute videos, to support teachers and educators in the use of technology in the classroom.
We call these videos 'InnoVIDS' because they are videos from our Innovative teachers. (Get it?!)
Our team of teachers have produced the first 10 videos, all of which deal with features of Office 2007 and how teachers and students use Word, Excel and PowerPoint in the classroom. Kristen and I were amazed at the features teachers were using, as many were not the obvious ones we had thought of and some we had never realised existed in these applications.
To give you a little taster of what these InnoVIDS can offer, I am posting the links to the first five in this list, as our final birthday present of the month! The remainder of the videos -- and any new videos (which we'll post in the coming weeks) -- can be found in this feature on the UK Innovative teachers Network.
We will publishing more videos each month on the Innovative Teachers Network, so check the blog and the ITN often for new updates. If you have any suggestions for an area we should cover with an InnoVID, please let us know. You can email your suggestions to v-sball@microsoft.com
We hope you'll find these videos - and all of the other birthday gifts we've provided this month - useful. Let us know how you're using them in your teaching!
