Week 14: Do you want feedback? ... I'll send you a video

Rate: ***** 5

What a fantastic way of assess students I learned this week. I never thought that using a program, you can record from feedback up to power point presentations. This new idea is not only useful for online courses, but for a normal class. You can ask your students to send their drafts and in the same document, they can receive feedback almost immediately. I would like to apply this program because you help your students to reinforce listening skills. They are not just simply watching the cursor but they are paying attention what the feedback says.

Also, it is useful for practices of the target language. I would have liked to receive feedback of my pronunciation. I know that is not teachers fault because they need to cover a lot of content in a short period of time. Fortunately, we have access to this type of tool and we use it for our future students. I do not like to have a camera in front of me, so this tool helps me to be behind of it; of course, the main focus would be my pronunciation, accuracy and fluency if a speaking task has been required.

I really enjoyed watching the video about the 10 ideas we can use for recording ourselves. It is easy to follow and it allows you to make some modifications or share it at the same time. Most of them ask for a payment, but I found some that the only request was to sing up or to try the free version for a month. I see only the advantages this tool will bring me, and soon I will apply it for feedback or for a practice.
