Viddyou is similar to YouTube in that it provides a platform for you to upload videos on the Internet and post a description. I found that you could post videos to it and keep a file of all your films. You can either make you file public or private. I found that you could create videos and upload them for classroom purposes. I would use it to help me with my frontal teaching. I would save my videos online and use them while I assist students in the classroom. This gives me someone to co-teach so that I may get around the room to assist struggling students. I can also use this site to post videos I want students review for homework. It can be used as an archive of lessons to help students review and prepare for tests. Students can also Viddyou to make video reports and share what they created for class. The videos can be used just like a blog because it gives the viewer an opportunity to respond to the video produced. This is a great way for students to converse about what they are learning in the classroom asynchronously. There are lots of instructional videos Viddyou to help you create you movies and movie effects. One video explained how students could create side-by-side video shots. In the video they created an asynchronous recordings of themselves side by side. It was kind of ingenious on their part because they created a special effect using iMovie. One video was about diabetes. It gave you the cellular information you needed to learn how the pancreas works and how these cells maintain equilibrium within the human body. The video was scholarly and should be considered when by teachers for instruction. This article was found through the search engine provided on the website.
