1. Remember that a

simple google search or

Youtube search can

help you learn how to

use editing programs.

VIDEO STEP PROCESS PHASE 1

• Outline: You must outline what you have to say, what you intend to

show, and your main points.

• Script: Whether the students are going to perform in their video,

use a voice-over, or simply write captions, you should know what

you are going to say before you begin.

PHASE 2

• Storyboard: present a storyboard before filming in order to gather resources in advance. ReadWriteThink, a website sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) has this rubric for assessing storyboards.

• Filming: The key to a good video project is the actual raw footage. Consider blocking a few times for recording and having an alternate activity available for the rest of the students.

PHASE 3

• Editing: Tools such as Microsoft MovieMaker, Apple iMovie, and

Pixorial easily allow students to add soundtracks, voice overs,

special effects, captions, and titles. Visit our video apps page for

more ideas.

• Publishing: At the most basic level, a camera can be plugged in to a

TV or projector and shown to the rest of the class. Online video

sharing sites (YouTube & Vimeo) and class websites provide

students with an even broader audience. Before publishing a

student video, make sure that you have checked your school’s

Acceptable Use Policy, and also made sure that copyright

infringement has not occurred. For more information on the latter

topic, check out our Creative Commons page.
