Description
This session will help teachers of EFL/ESL develop lesson plans for video projects to use with their students of various levels. It will give teachers a chance to try out ideas and share problems, resources, and successes in using video. Participants will need a video camera (or digital photo camera with video capacity) and some familiarity with easy-to-use, free video editing tools. Some technical help will be available, but the focus will be on pedagogy and lesson development rather than the technical aspects of video production.
Objectives
By the end of the session, participants will
- create a video introduction and upload it to a video-sharing Web site
- explore and share ways of integrating video into language instruction
- create an original lesson plan, activity, or student project that integrates video
- create, share, and critique a student-produced or instructional video project
- share their knowledge by engaging in discussions about using video by responding to weekly forum questions to the group and commenting on others' entries
Target audience
Video-using teachers of languages who already have some ability to create their own videos.

I am a graduate of the TESL program at Northern Arizona University, USA (M.A.,'97). I have taught English as a Second Language in Southern California for more than 10 years. Currently I teach adults (general ESL, Vocational ESL, and Digital Storytelling) in the noncredit ESL program at MiraCosta College in Oceanside. Before that, I was a teacher trainer for the U.S. Peace Corps in Tonga.
I write a monthly article on Web 2.0 tools for use in adult education and moderate online workshops for OTAN. I am a technology-integration enthusiast, and while I enjoy using it in my daily instruction, even more exciting for me is putting the technology into the hands of students and seeing the amazing projects they are able to produce.
