Say you need to make a video for a class, a short rough of a performance idea for a theatre project, some dance choreography, a video capture to be used in a multimedia project you move into software on the PARC computers, a music video of your band, or even a feature length film. Why not consider using an iPad? It is quick and easy. As mentioned in my previous blog post the iPad’s processing power is approaching laptop speeds and with the iPad Air 2, they are closer than ever.

Code the Youtube URL for class use
Before I knew this trick, I always felt I had to be the Youtube police for my class.

Knowmia has a collection of over 8,000 videos. It is designed mostly for high school teaching and learning, but I do find the Chinese language collection to be beneficial to our students. The reason I recommend the Chinese class collection to our students but not necessarily the French and Spanish collections, is that the lessons in French and Spanish collections tend to cover grammar and vocabulary that professors usually cover in classes. It might be helpful for students who are learning the language on their own, but probably less so if they are already taking the language classes. In the collection of the Chinese lessons, although there are also lessons on the basic vocabulary and grammar, there are also many lessons focused on stories and culture, focusing on food, transportation, family lives and festivals.
