My students really enjoy watching video tutorials of past concepts as a way of reminding themselves of a skill. They would much rather watch a video on their own, then read a review page or ask the teacher a question. What is even better is when some of their classmates created the video that they are going to watch. The students are not in the video, but their voices narrate the keynote presentation for their classmates to view and listen to either on the iPod Touch or on the MacBook.
Try this out for your class and see how much the students enjoy learning from each other. Have two students work together to make a keynote presentation as they would normally make a Powerpoint. Then, follow these easy steps:
1. Select Play – Record Slideshow Students record their narration and simply hit the down arrow when they are ready to move to the next slide. At the end, they hit ESC to end the narration. Be sure they save after re-checking their work.
2. Export the Keynote either as a QuickTime video or to the iPod as a movie.
3. It’s as easy as that. You students will love getting out their earbuds and listening to a review and learning from their classmates. They will then want to get a good grade on the next quiz so they can record a lesson for someone else.
It’s really exciting to watch students making and viewing these videos!
Try it out, and let me know how it goes!!

I love that you are having your students make the Keynotes! It’s amazing what students can do when they’re given ownership over their learning. It sounds like they are having a blast while learning! Thanks for sharing!
