I was kind in a rush this week, so it’s a bit, well, rushed. I didn’t really do it with a lesson in mind as I’m not teaching right now or editing textbooks due to the summer holidays, so I just made it out of a short clip with a couple of celebrities I like, Andy Samberg and Neil deGrasse Tyson. James Corden is also there but luckily he doesn’t talk much .
This was a bit harder to do because I really didn’t want to put myself on camera. I couldn’t find a away to download a clip from YouTube so that meant when I tried to use Rise, I couldn’t embed and although I did end up embedding on Storyline, the finish activity feels a bit clunky. I know I kind of rushed it a bit but the activities feel disconnected from the video. I think H5P would have been best for this because I liked the videos where there are stop points and the questions come up in the video, but my free trial ended yesterday.
Doing it with less guidance was fine but I guess because I don’t have anything I’m specifically teaching or editing at the moment, finding something to make a video about was tricky.
Please find below an activity I made for my engineering students. This is a video that is going to introduce students the topic of floating solar panels, which is their writing project next semester. The most challenging part was to add the questions in the right places and I was also anxious until I reached the preview stage. I used H5p because this the platform I am going to have access in my university next semester.
Please let me know your thoughts as this is going to be used by 12 teachers and 500 students!
Small question: In H5p, the summary question at the end is displayed as a button, how can I change it to become more visible. I cannot find the button to change it.
My H5P free trial has expired but I made an interactive video of students doing online – to focus attention on functional language in seminars. Link here if it still works:
Even without the interactivity, it’s fairly easy to make ‘rough’ videos to use for feedback or to emphasise something, I think. Especially if you are willing to shamelessly exploit your younger family members
Unfortunately, the H5P link wouldn’t work but the Kaltura one did! I thought it was brilliant to use videos to demonstrate providing evidence for an argument. The transcript next to it is great for low-level students and the topic is bound to keep the listeners interested. I never thought of using video in this way and it feels really effective!
Works for me! I really enjoyed how well integrated the questions are, I thought taking points away for wrong answers was effective to make me pay attention
Hi everyone! my little video lives in a funky articulate unit here
Feedback/ oscar nominations are very much welcomed. Just to give you a bit of background, I downloaded a super short TEDtalk, then edited it with Clipchamp then used EdPuzzle to create the questions in the video. Then it all went into an articulate unit. It has a pre-video activity and two-post video activities and it all rocks a nice purple theme.
Loved this Paula – a great way to get them thinking before the lesson! I liked that you got them to think about register / audience too. One very minor glitch – the Ceti logo needs to be on the screen for longer if you want answers to question one.
I really like the different types of questions, including more reflective questions, and the padlet where they have a chance to engage more with the content and with each other. Fab!
Sorry, I’m very behind with this but can I ask a question? Is there a way of editing (scrubbing?) Youtube videos? i want to make an interactive video with just the introduction to a video but can’t work out a way of getting just the first few minutes of it onto H5P… any ideas?
I think (and I am not 100% sure) you may need to download it to do that, that is why I went with TEDTalks cause they are super easy to download and then scrubbing/adding bits was suuuper easy!
Thank you Paula. I wanted to use a video I’m trying to use for one of the programmes I work on..found a way in the end but yes, should’ve gone for a TED!
@jemima you can use a website like YouTube Trimmer. You can drag the handles to the start and end and that generates a link just for the section you want.
Here’s a video for the introduction to a lecture – using it for my final assignment, so hope that’s allowed!
I found it hard because I wanted to use a youtube video but I couldn’t work out how to download it to clip it. Thank you for the suggestion David. I tried the youtube trimmer but the problem then was that H5P didn’t recognise the clip (was I doing something wrong? Probably!). I also found it really fiddly clipping it at exactly the right place, although this was easier once I’d rewatched the videos and remembered how to zoom in.
I can’t seem to download videos from Ted talks or from Youtube to Clipchamp. Any ideas anyone? I keep getting a message saying it has failed. Sorry I’m a bit useless at basic things like this:(
This is my video created using H5P – this one focuses on critical thinking skills as I will have gone through the relevant vocabulary via a wordwall activity before watching the video – the topic for this week is how kindness helps us survive.
Thanks everyone for your videos, we’ll be making comments on them shortly. But just to respond to some of your questions/issues:
@suerobbins, can you share the link again and see if it works for others? It might be some kind of browser setting that is causing the problem.
@jemima, you need to grab the first link under the video once you’ve made the adjustments to the beginning and end, it should look a bit like this:
@julie for TED Talks you need to click on the Share button and then there should be a download option, see pic below:
YouTube downloads are a bit more of a dark art, for copyright reasons many companies – quite understandably – don’t want you downloading their videos, particularly music companies. However, there are tools that can do it, you might need to download them to your computer. This software is quite popular.
hey @julie not every TED Talk video is downloadable for various copyright reasons. Can you try a few other videos and see if some of them are downloadable?
thanks @jemima @suerobbins @thomasleach @david-l @spottypoppy @paula_villegas @berniek @ptzanni for your video activities, fascinating to see what you’ve all created. @paula_villegas yours was particularly impressive incorporating not only video but a range of other tools to engage students pre and post listening. I think Allison’s also shows that questions don’t necessarily always need right or wrong answers, we can use video to provoke/prompt rather than check knowledge.
As mentioned in the live sessions, I think the most important is to make sure that students know what they are listening for, either by providing the questions at the same time as the video or by prompting them to think about the question (‘he’s going to talk about the environment, make notes on the main causes of pollution he identifies’) before it then appears on the screen.
A couple of technical issues to address: @suerobbins, something definitely odd about the link, I can see the pre-video text and the video area, but the actual video doesn’t show. Can you share the embed code so i can see if I can post it here?
@ptzanni you asked about making the question more visible, when you are editing the question, you can select either button or poster, select poster if you want to have the question more visible (see pic below)
It’s 8min 19 (a bit long- sorry!) and I didn’t do too much editing other than put in the questions. I’ll need to try the YouTube trimmer thing in future for long videos.
I also think I have made it so I collect answers by students writing a nickname but without having to sign in for an account. I don’t know where that stands on the GDPR spectrum of allowability?
It may have just been me but the first question about Shanghai and the one about ‘fishing’ appeared quite soon. I’m not sure if students are to read first but then I didn’t know how to go back to the questions and I couldn’t drag it to replay/rewatch
