The document provides guidance for students creating tutorial videos, including identifying key concepts, planning the lesson sequence, writing a script, and considering visuals. It recommends drawing and writing software, switching between windows, keeping videos succinct, and publishing videos to Screenr and YouTube, then sharing the links to maximize their usefulness.

1. Students learning through making tutorial
videos

2. • Identify key concepts to teach
• Think like a teacher – plan the sequence of the lesson
• Write a script – most of us don’t ad lib well
• Think about visuals – what will they see?
Narration On screen
“In this video I will teach prime Definition in notepad w/ large font –
factorization” give time to read
“Let’s begin by looking at a simple Switch window to SMART
example…” Notebook, black pen selected.
Etc. Etc.

3. • For drawing: Paint, SMART Notebook…
• For writing: Notepad or Word
• Draw, write, move shapes: SMART Notebook
• Show any file: images, video, slideshows…
• Switch windows: Alt+Tab (PC) or Cmd + Tab (Mac)

4. • Succinct = good (5 minute limitation for screenr videos)
• Don’t write long text during recording – you probably
can’t write & talk fluently at the same time, anyway
• Smallest possible screen capture area - but no smaller
• I have a pause button , and I’m not afraid to use it!

5. • Enter a description of what you made
• Where do you publish to?
• Screenr.com
• Export to YouTube – larger audience
• How do you share it?
• Link on blog, wiki, Google Document…
• Embed in portal, wiki or blog…
• Share all student tutorials in one location – a large
collection is exponentially more useful than single videos
scattered all over the place
