Do It Yourself Animation Videos and Teaching English
By
Tony Ladig of Public Domain Expert sent an email with a great DIY video website.
I made a real quick simple video.
Take a look at it and then please leave your comments. I’ve called it “Enjoy!” It’s just a test video.
I see lots of potential for language teaching with this software…. I’m on my way out the door to teach kids – I’m working it into my lesson plan and will let you know how it went….:-)
Click here to see my test video, “Enjoy!” and see if you can use this tool in your English language teaching.

Hi Eileen,
Do you find that the kids respond really well to learning ESL via video?

Hi April,
Absolutely! Kids, teens, adults, business people learning English, too, love watching videos – and I have found LOVE making videos with the animation software. My theory is that it brings out that right side creative part of the brain as they use the language that they’ve learned.

Simple but pretty cool stuff. I can imagine a lot of uses for this.

Glad you found it useful. Stop back again. I strive to stay on the cutting-edge of new media/social media when it comes to teaching, especially when it comes to ESL/EFL/ESOL teaching and learning.
