Webcam in the lessons

The webcam is useful not only to make faces. With its help, you can learn the rules, improve diction and maintain the best moments for parents. The Edutainme portal has collected the most interesting ways to conduct a lesson using PhotoBooth and Imovie.

Talking head

Cutting of poems and rules by heart - perhaps the most hated occupation of schoolchildren (and is unlikely the most useful). When the classroom contests of readers no longer have fun, we suggest attracting technology to the aid. Of the tools, only a laptop or a tablet with a video recording function is needed. If you have an iPad, a standard camera is suitable, if a macbook is a Photobooth program, which, incidentally, have different modes and effects.

Offer to learn at home a poem, it is better even somewhat choice. In the class, give a couple of minutes to repetition and invite those who wish to shoot, you can with a book. It is verified: even if someone does not like to speak on the camera, it is interesting to look at himself to everyone, especially the modern narcissistic generation. Are everyone ready? Turn on the camera, motor! At first, even excellent students will be shy, but this is not scary. Maybe the desire to look good on the screen motivates someone to read again.

The result can be saved and showed to parents. So that failed, but cheerful duplicates do not disappear, mount a video with blunders from them. Keep in mind, it will be more difficult to forget the poem with every new attempt or watching a video. After filming, be sure to discuss what seemed difficult. It is good to introduce the guys to the genre of video poetry between the matter, for sure, there will be those who will seriously interest it. You can assemble a whole piggy bank with the rules recorded on video, poems and passages that will help in preparation for the control. And also create your own poetic video collector or a whole film.

Who will talk to whom

Tlates are always fun, and if you record them on the camera and review them, then even more so. To conduct another video experiment, you need to ask you to learn a tongue twister right in the lesson or set it at home. Then everything is simple: we turn on laptops or tablets, open the Photoboth program, and then we take turns writing down our small performances in the video. Then the video can be downloaded to the Imovie program and add sound effects for boring fun or change the reproduction speed to a higher one. It is guaranteed: you will want to listen to such a record several times, because it usually turns out very funny. You can take advantage of this circumstance, and, for example, in this way, write down some kind of rule or other important text for memorizing.

We shoot a fabulous film

Turning a lesson in literature into a performance is not a new idea. It is a pity that school impromptu, sometimes talented, remain in memory for a short while. You can correct the situation, from the very beginning, stocked up with tools and tuned in to the durable result. The algorithm is this: select the text and distribute roles (it is better to give excerpts to the house). After a small rehearsal, you can turn on the camera and start recording. Let everyone write their remarks in the Photobooth program and throw the files into the general access folder, and then someone will glue separate pieces into the whole film using ImoVie. You can record a scene on one laptop with a whole group, or you can do it separately. If you put a laptop on the desk in front of the board, you can even make a film really-in full growth and in costumes. Since there is a lot of work, it is better to spend several lessons on this. And, of course, it is worthwhile to offer such tasks if you are sure that the children have already mastered the basic algorithms for working with programs and are able to remove and mount almost independently. Gradually, you can complicate the task, offering new options for installation and imposing effects.

Weekly video journal

School video magazine is an idea that requires serious technical training, developed imagination and unprecedented perseverance. However, the process launched with competent help of adults can be quite likely to go under the fully autonomous management of schoolchildren. Given that in elementary school, every first student considers himself a TV star, such a project will be very useful, and it will be possible to arrange benefits every week or even every day. Assign those responsible for the collection of school news - let the attendants with tablets prepare small videos during the day, shooting incidents, holidays and interviews. The next day, the best pieces will be selected by the editor for the final version. Then ready -made programs can be laid out on a school site or on social networks and collect crowds of fans.
