Jo Gakonga: Making great screencast videos - some helpful tips

Screencast videos (voiced-over videos made with a computer and showing whatever appears on the screen) can be used for all kinds of on-line learning and training and are becoming more and more popular as a way to present information on-line. This might be as part of a flipped classroom approach in language teaching or teacher training or for on-going teacher development. They are not technically difficult to produce but making them an engaging medium can present more of a challenge. Whilst no trained expert, in three years of making teacher training videos for www. elt-training. com I have learnt a lot (often the hard way!) about how to make them engaging. Come and see what’s in my bag of tricks on how to maximize their motivational potential.

Jo Gakonga has been teaching since 1989 and training teachers since 2000. She has worked in many countries including Taiwan, the Czech Republic, Kenya and Switzerland and currently works in an FE college in the UK. She has a DTEFLA and an MA from Warwick University and is the co-author of IELTS Foundation, published by Macmillan. She is interested in the potential of the internet for teacher training and development and offers an on-line grammar course and free on line training for novice and trainee teachers at www.elt-training.com. She has three children, three chickens and a very tolerant and long-suffering husband.
