What are the advantages for students and/or the teacher)?
Making a video is easier than ever with help from Adobe Spark Video.
It is free and provides templates (background, music, even photos).
I was very afraid of making a video. Watching Zoella (famous UK vlogger), I thought producing a video means to have your face being 'magnified' on the monitor. However, it is not the case! Your voiceover narration with relevant photos, plus lovely background music cam already make your video 'look' and 'sound' professional!
After watching the videos made by HKUGA students, I think my F.2 students are capable to produce something similar! Not only can they practise speaking, they also gain a great sense of achievement!
In November and December, there are many school activities, such as school picnic, Christmas party. Students for sure will take tonnes of photos these occasions. It is very handy to ask them to produce a short video about one of these activities. I can ask them to draft first then show them how to use the software. They can then produce one after school or at home. The best part of the software is that it is FREE to use! Students can then share the videos with their family and I can play one or two during lessons as well.
