This the part you probably came for…

How to make a lesson video Things you will need: Ideas Camera and/or screen capture software Editing software Enthusiasm Bonus: Pen enabled tablet (for Chalk & Talk style) Remote mouse/clicker

Ideas know what you are going to say. This is important - it is easy to ramble, but you want to keep it short & sweet! know what you are going to show Plan to keep it to 10 minutes or less Use existing lesson presentations as a starting point!

Camera Any camera will do. Digicam webcam cell phone camcorder DSLR Tripod is useful too.

Screen capture software Camtasia – powerful, but not cheap CamStudio ( – free but limitedhttp://camstudio.org/ Open Broacdaster ( – free, full featuredhttps://obsproject.com/ Jing ( ) - Web based, also from Techsmith, limited to 5 minuteshttp:// Screencast-o-matic ( free version has watermarkhttp:// Screencastify – Chrome plugin Educreations ( ) - for chalk & talk stylehttps://

Video Editing Software Adobe Premiere / Premiere Elements Magix Movie Edit Pro iMovie (Mac or amore limited version on iOS) Windows Movie Maker (free, but loathsome) WeVideo (works with Google Drive) Camtasia Studio buit-in editor

The Process Decide on a format Spend some time up front planning your video lesson. Know what you are going to say, know what you want to show. Edit your PowerPoints (if doing that style of video) to minimize text, maximize imagery - include animations! Record your video – you may need to do a few takes, but don’t worry if it’s not perfect Edit Publish

Chalk & Talk style Can be done on an iPad using Educreations or ShowMe On Windows touch-screen computer using OneNote ow Word and a stylus On non-touch PC or Mac with a pen tablet Run the “white board” medium, run the screen capture, and record.

Narrated Slide Show / PiP slide show Record the slide show with voice-over narration. Camtasia integrates with PPT to facilitate this For picture-in-picture style, run a webcam video preview in a small window while recording - Some let you keep the window always on top (eg AmCap)

Illustrated Lecture Let me explain in video form:

Editing considerations If it’s not necessary, cut it. Be harsh. Cut out “ums” and dead space Doesn’t have to be beautiful Images can be overlaid as PiP or floating (“greenscreened”) with multitrack editors Use the “zoom” tool frequently to allow precision edits efficiently

Publishing your video YouTube – public or link only GAFE – now unlimited storage for schools Sharing directly with students

Overall Considerations Find a style you’re comfortable with and works for you dont worry - quick & dirty is better than nothing, or many hours making it “perfect”. jump cuts are perfectly fine Keep it tight, under 10 minutes if possible. If longer, consider splitting into parts have fun with it!

Ninja Level: Special Effects Animations in ppt overlaid on live view Animated titles Slow or fast motion Cutting effects (see Georges Méliès) – transporter effect, dropping from the sky Split screen effects – talking to yourself
