Presenting Your Vodcast

Taken from the SYN Vodcasting Workshop, this video demonstrates how to speak and present on camera. It talks about being relaxed, looking at the camera and speaking clearly.
 
Presenting off the cuff can be difficult - that's where the Autocue can help. We think this external online Autocue application is pretty useful:

SYN Vodcasting Workshop Kit

SYN's Vodcast Workshop is for secondary school students, taking them step-by-step through all of the stages of making their own vodcasts.
 
This kit is a support resource for this workshop - it's useful for classes who have recently completed the SYN Vodcasting workshop and want to refresh their memories, or for classes who want to have a go at making vodcasts on their own.
 
The Vodcast Workshop Kit includes a workshop module, Vodcast training manual and video tutorials.

SYN ICT Workshops

Get your students making creative digital video and audio through SYN's ICT Workshops. SYN offers two options to boost your students' digital literacy:
 
The SYN Vodcasting Workshop uses accessible digital video technology to create and publish student-made vodcasts.
The SYN Podcasting Workshop guides students in the creation of podcast audio pieces.
 
Both workshops can be used to explore a wide range of curriculums and topics.
