Y6 How do I create an effective video tutorial?

  • Reflect on the video tutorials you have seen and the success criteria we came up with last time.

Planning

  1. Think of a simple skill to teach;
  2. Practice and master the skill;
  3. Plan and practice the demonstration and commentary;
  4. Give and receive feedback from learning partner;
  5. Improve your presentation;
  6. Repeat steps 2 – 5 until it is AMAZING!  (Should be hard work – put in lots of effort and you will be successful)
  7. Be resilient – act on feedback and keep improving.

When you are read to record

  • Get your title screen and working area ready
  • Go to Start – Programs – Online shortcuts – Screencastomatic
  • Click start recording
  • Don’t expect to be successful first time
  • Keep testing, checking, evaluating…
  • ** could try SnagIt (Chrome extension) as another way of recording your screen.  You will need to be logging in with your Google account.

The Design Cycle

(I like “Problem” instead of “investigate”)
