Hello and welcome to your
Cambridge English video tips.
Today’s tips are linked to technology
and the sorts of things to think about
when you’re going to be teaching online.
I’m not going to lie, I’m going to need to
refer to my notes when I’m talking to you.
So, first tip – make sure you have
a reliable and fast internet connection.
If you’re not sure you can
do a speed check, so try that.
Number two – use a reliable,
user friendly platform to work from.
For example, Google Classroom.
You can share materials,
share quizzes and content.
It’s also going to be really helpful to decide whether or not you’re going to need to do
online video conferencing live,
with your learners.
If so it’s a good idea to compare a few tools, for example Skype, Google Hangouts –
both of these are very reliable, they work well, they’re familiar to most of us.
At some time or another we’ve tried one or the other of these.
If not, if you’re not going to be
teaching live with your learners,
why not see if you can find some good screen recording software so you can make your own videos,
which you can then share with your learners
and the ones that we might recommend would be tools like Adobe Spark or Lumen5.
So that’s our technology tips for today.
Until next time, bye-bye!
