EVO Video 08: ESL/EFL Video Slide Shows and Vlogging is a free workshop for all teachers interested in learning how to use student-produced video slide shows and vlogs to enhance their classes. Both video slide shows and vlogs can be made available to a wide audience via the web and can therefore become powerful motivational tools. In addition, slide shows can be created in little time with minimal equipment (camera phones and a computer), so they are particularly suited to teachers with limited access to IT resources.Moderators: Ryan Detwiler, Nicolas Gromik, Mike Marzio, Dr. Sergio Mazzarelli, and Geoff Taylor (with special thanks to Dr. Elizabeth Hanson-Smith). || He has also taken up photography as a hobby and regularly uploads his pictures of Japan to his flickr [|photostream.] || In 1992, he began the Real English [|project], and more recently his [|blog]. Mike hopes that his practical experience as cameraman, interviewer, and video editor will prove useful to EVO video 2008 participants around the world. || In 2005, in Cooperation with Elizabeth and Mike Marzio, we started filmediting4esol EVO TESOL, and since then I haven't stopped discovering the benefit of integrating video in the classroom as a project-based activity for [|advanced Japanese learners of English] to attempt as a challenge (see the link for their performance). In 2007, one pair of student produced a 15 minute video on "Orphans in Sendai", and it was submitted in the Sundance Festival; not to win, but go through the whole process of video production from concept to delivery. In my spare time, I make short [|documentaries], deliver workshops and [|presentations] on the benefit of video production, also I attempt to deliver online resources. Welcome to EVO Video 2008, I hope you enjoy the sessions. || Deutsch || ||   ||   ||   || I have been teaching EFL for over 30 years. I am originally from Toronto, Canada but have been living in Israel for the past 35 years. I have a BA in English literature and linguistics and an MA in Education, curriculum and instruction. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in educational leadership specializing in curriculum and instruction online at the University of Phoenix. I plan to research instructors' use of technology (audio and video) for instruction at a campus based university. I am interested in teachers' professional development and ways of helping teachers integrate technology in blended learning environments. I use [|Moodle], wikis, and [|ning] social blogs for all of my high school EFL classes. As a visual/kinesthetic learner, I spend hours on YouTube searching for material to add to my lessons. In addition to my regular job as a high school teacher, I facilitate online courses on WebQuests and e-learning and moderate PAIRS marriage enrichment courses. In my spare time I moderate [|Doctoral Students][|Addicted to Facebook] [|Help Kenya] and [|e-Learning in Developing and Developed Countries]groups on facebook and [|blended learning and instructions]and [|online instruction] on ning. When I am not online or at work, I run long distance for at least an hour or two everyday. If I follow my [|daughter's online programs], I will be ready for my first marathon in the summer. || Here are some links of mine: [|blog] (edu-blog, kind of personal), wikispaces, [|ning], [|del.icio.us], [|slideshare], [|scribd]. I do not know how to use video or digital camera with my students so I am here to learn and enjoy the experience. || I have taught ESL adult international, refugee, and immigrant students in the San Diego, California area for 10 years (but I grew up in the Black Hills of South Dakota, as you can see in my avatar's photo, at left). Currently, I am the lead Vocational ESL instructor at MiraCosta College, Oceanside, CA. I incorporate Blackboard (a CMS), [|podcasting], and blogs ([|VESL] and [|Digital Storytelling]) in student projects. I occasionally include student video. Although it's time-consuming, I'd like to do more with student video production. I recently developed and just started teaching an ESL Digital Storytelling course. || I have no previous experience in this area and am looking forward to getting my teeth into something new. || When I'm not in the professional spectrum, I'm with my family, having fun with my two little boys and my husband. I love to travel, read, take photos, meet people, have fun with friends, listen to music, sing for fun, and invent different kinds of activities against boredom. Now, I'm pretty busy, but happily co-moderating the [|blogging4educators] session. || I am excited about having the chance to join Evovideo08 this year. I only have a tiny digital camera with a video function. I would like to explore the possibilities of producing video clips or slideshows in various ways with such minimal equipment. || Last year I took the Blogging for Beginners course (with Carla as Moderator) and this year I decided to learn about using videos and PPT (I'm working on both groups). My experience with using [|blogs] with students was a success. I hope this year I get new and interesting ideas to try with my students and make learning even more entertaining. || Crazy of learning much about new technologies and implementing them into the educational process. Since she is a co-moderator of Blogging4Educators session it would be difficult to be an active participants, but will try to do the best. ||

I have been using computers and the Internet since 1993 and I have learned a lot about the computers’ hardware and software by myself. Then I got a bit tired of knowing about how computers worked and got more interested in knowing about how to use them as an effective tool in my teaching practice. I had been using them for all the teaching work outside the classroom but I wanted to learn how to use these technology with the students and for the students. I started hearing about Web 2.0 in 2003 and soon I realized that these technologies could be of great value for teaching. At this time I started my master studies in Educational Informatics which I finished in December 2006. I met the webheads early in 2007 and they encouraged me to start using social web tools like blogs with my students. I started using blogs with my classes in September. It’s been an interesting experience and I have learned a lot from it. I setup a [|classblog].
