I’ve been tangentially involved with BBC Class Clips for some time. I thought I’d share some ideas for using short clips in the classroom as I’m preparing a short INSET presentation.
1. Write a short critical response in You Tube style, or following more formal guidelines.
2. Play “stop the video” Give students three questions in advance and get them to pause the video when the question has been answered.
3. Turn the sound off, so that students can write their own voiceover. This could be recorded using Audacity.
4. Pause the video: guess what happens next?
5. Remake the video using Flip videos (could be done in puppet or stop motion style).
6. Embed the video in a PowerPoint or blog post.
7. Give students a selection of clips, they have to choose the clip that best represents the theme.
8. Sum up the video in 3 words / 3 sentences / 3 paragraphs.
9. Use the video as source material for completing a writing frame.
10. Get students to write down 5 words associated with the video. Save to a shared folder and analyze the contents with Wordle
And a naughty bonus, just because you can…
Geo-locate the video (BBC class clips can be viewed directly in Google Earth) Here’s the procedure:
