From TikTok to Teams calls, many platforms offer video editing software features for free, therefore creating video content has never been easier.
‘If you truly understand something, you can teach it to others’
Getting pupils to make their own videos gives every learner a voice and develops a variety of additional transferable skills, ranging from literacy and oracy to collaboration and digital skills. In this session Ben Scott will showcase examples of pupil’s work, across a range of subjects, that demonstrate a deeper understanding of their learning. These tasks engage and challenge learners to be more creative in how they express their understanding.
