imovies and how to incorporate them in language instruction

Today we took the role of movie actors and directors. Hollywood is calling!
Having the teachnology of making movies and LMS opens new doors to our teaching practice. We can create tutorials of lectures and let the students spend time independently at home listening to them as much as they want/need, so we can spend the class time for practising and working collaboratively on the content to be learned. This allows time for more project work which students will enjoy taking part in. As we also have seen from the example, learner projects can be video documented for archive and training of new instructors purposes.The real learning takes place when there is interaction and through doing rather than listening to a lecture.There is a huge shift in teaching today in this respect, and we should all follow suit.As we have learned today, Calgary is one of the leading cities in the world as far as internet usage goes, so there is no excuse for not utilising video tutorials in our practice.One thing to keep in mind though is to keep it as real as possible in the tutorials where real human interaction can be observed after the instruction and samples.
Great class,
Thanks again.
