Takeaway Teacher

The English department has launched a YouTube channel to help with revision and to store key bits of learning - here's a sample video: These videos have proved popular and effective with students, and have certainly helped them to focus. A quicker alternative is to use Jing (free downloadable software, discovered by TLa), which allows you to record what you are doing on your computer screen and adda voiceover. This is very quick and easy - it doesn't look as flash but may well be just as effective - here's a sample of a video made with Jing: If you'd like to have a go at this to support your own teaching or department, please contact TBo; for example if you have a presentation of a particular teaching point that you'd like to make available to year 11, this will be straightforward to organise and upload to the Takeaway Teacher site: http://www.youtube.com/user/CheneyTakeaway
