Using Twitter with students

Read a great entry on Doug Belshaw’s blog on using Twitter with students.  I’d mentioned using this with Studywiz and the RSS Reader in Studywiz, but Doug’s post goes in to a lot more detail and suggest some learning applications for using Twitter.

Subtitling video using the web

I have discovered three websites that allow students to add subtitles to video.

These sites take video from other sites and allow students to add subtitles.  A teacher could upload a video clip to a site like YouTube or TeacherTube, and provide students with the link to this video in one of the subitile websites.

MFL teachers could use this to support students in developing a target language.  Geography teachers might use this to annotate a video of a volcano, demonstrating students understanding of a concept.  English teachers might use this to allow students to add infromation about a scene in a play.
