2. This presentation will provide instruction for the processes involved in creating an educational video and publishing to YouTube. It will include details about recording, editing, and publishing.

3. What you’ll need A microphone (laptops have these)
(optional) A webcam or laptop with camera
An internet connection

4. Purposes
Creating an educational video can be a very versatile teaching strategy.
Lecture replacement
Instructional support
Individualized learning
Review material
Self-tutoring
It’s also something to have available when you request a substitute, or when you aren’t having the greatest day and need some recovery time.

5. Video Length An effective YouTube video is as short as possible
Most people don’t watch the entire video
Speak clearly, but not slowly
Suggested lengths of video
For problem solving, 3 minutes or less
For a discussion about a topic, 7 minutes or less
For lesson replacement, 15 minutes or less

6. Talking Tips
You will be recording your own voice. Pretend you are talking to a group of 6th graders.
They respond to emotions, so you want to be enthusiastic
They understand English, but struggle with technical terms
They need every detail explained. Don’t skip even the simplest steps.
Plan time to make videos; kick other people out of the room
You don’t want other sounds in the house immortalizing themselves in your videos

7. Keep it Professional
You are about to publish something online. Remember the following:
You should be dressed in a way you would want people to see you at work, if you are going to record video
Do not use any foul language (if someone else lets something slip, you can edit it out later)
Avoid talking about things that teachers are prohibited from talking about in classrooms (sex, drugs, violence, politics, religion)
Ensure no personal information is on display in the room where video is recorded (credit cards, bills, receipts, ID)

8. Plan It Out It’s a good idea to have a plan
Having a dual-monitor set up makes this really easy
Plan on one side, record on other
Know what to talk about, so you have to think as little as possible while recording
Test or solve everything prior to making a video

9. Keep Things Organized
Create a folder on your computer where you can save videos
For each group of videos, create a subfolder
When publishing to YouTube, make playlists with titles that describe how the videos were grouped
A playlist is your way of getting people to watch a video they didn’t search for

10. Be Confident in Your Productions
You will make something helpful.
Your students will think it was a great video just because you made it.
The video is out there for other people, not for you.

These programs make it really easy to clip your videos so that parts you don’t want are excluded.

When saving, export the file for use in YouTube, or as an mp4 format.
