Description
This course has been created for teachers who are interested in using audiovisuals (including video making) and social media and in making their lessons more engaging and encouraging teamwork. Participants will take part in a wide range of practical activities (no prior knowledge of social medias and video-making techniques is required).
The course will introduce video making techniques: from shooting and editing videos with the students, to adapting already existing audio-visual resources (film and music clips, documentaries, news etc.). Some easy web-based solutions through which teachers and students can easily dub and subtitle videos in a variety of languages will be also introduced.
Participants will also learn how to use web resources and Social Media such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube, Google apps, blogs, Edmodo as educational tools.
By the end of this course, participants will have acquired more knowledge about the safe use of social media, digital classroom management and how to work with audiovisual material in a productive and motivating manner.
Guided city tours and 1 full day cultural excursion (usually on the first Saturday) will also be part of the programme.
