Expanding Your Library: Generating Digital Content for Young Learners
Abstract
This presentation is directed to teachers of young learners. The main thrust of this presentation will be to show teachers how they can easily create videos of them telling stories in order to expand their library. Firstly, we will list and demonstrate storytelling best practices. Secondly, we will show how storytelling videos can be made with smart phones that can record and share on services such as YouTube and KakaoTalk. This extends the reach of the library, the impact of the teacher, and language exposure. Techniques will be demonstrated in real time focusing on aspects of recording, such as lighting, framing, sound, positioning, and editing. Parents will appreciate that their children can have access to their teacher and library at any time and place.
