Hi Tara,

(Thanks for the link addition Sylvia).

I'm going to use this as a teachable moment - Because there are so many different devices and browsers to choose from it's becoming a good practice to add direct links to videos in addition to embedding - choice is good right! - It also helps if folks want or need to save for future viewing.

Lesson over.

So, Tara, thanks for the mini tour and despite what we know to be the "right" way to do talking head videos, yours worked. It worked because the audio was clear, you kept the pace up, and the length short. Nicely done : -)

Piggybacking on emma's post, I love the Faddy (or was it Faddie) idea. Very sticky - sticky is always good in learning. 

It's also an evergreen kind of topic. Fad diets like the Keto diet are not likely to disappear anytime soon so you could potentially use this kind of resource for several years. It also lends itself to easier-to-find visuals. With topics that are more conceptual the challenge becomes finding visual metaphors that work. You could use both visual metaphors and... I dunno... cartoon pigs... or more concrete visuals.

Looking forward to this one for sure!

First - Rachelle says:

I agree with Rachelle and no worries about dropping the post in a different forum - it's kind of like popping your head into a neighboring classroom on the first day of school, isn't it lol

I'm really excited by your topic. I have many cautionary tales in this area, so if you get stuck let me know ; -)

Hi Jacquie,

Your topic sounds really interesting and perfect for an explainer video (it's a concept that might be hard for some students to grasp, requires a common understanding, and isn't likely to change for awhile).

In reading your outline I can see all kinds of visuals that would help folks understand the concepts, so I'm looking forward to seeing what you develop : -)

By the way - I took the PIDP years ago and still regularly use almost everything I learned including Bob Aiken's handouts on brain-based learning and his broom and wine glass demo (I don't actually do that one very often cos it's messy).

Cheers,

jamie

Hi Sylvia : -)

It's good to (virtually) see you again lol

Explainer videos for FLO would be awesome!

2 minutes - I have faith in you.

Hello current and future explainers : -)
