Hungarian Teachers Learning About Creating and Using Video in the Classroom

Teachers and others taking part in the first EduTubePlus teachers workshop which was held in Budapest on 17/18 September spent two days discussing and experimenting with various types of video resources in the classroom.

This included discussing the educational value and use of ready-made video clips like those which will form the bedrock of the EduTubePlus multi-lingual curriculum-related video-based e-service for European schools. This service will be launched in 2010.

They also recorded their own clips as part of a hands-on experience in creating user-generated video which allowed them to familiarise themselves with the basics of story-boarding, capturing, editing and publishing of video-based educational resources.
