Example 01 Feedback Essay (VideoForAll)

Yeah, I just want to provide you with a little bit of feedback on your essay,

and the first thing I want to point out is, if we come down to here,

I was noticing that you were talking about --

I think you're not describing very clearly, exactly what screen capture does,

and I think its very important that we explain that

if you highlight anything,

if you write anything, if you move your cursor

on the screen, on the student's written work,

then that comes out in the essay:

because I don't think you're making that point very clearly, here.

So I think you might need to re-think that point.

Another little point I just want to bring up is here:

you used the word "live".

Now, I think "live" is not really the right word,

I think that you need to explain it's not a live recording,

because obviously, the student is playing it back after the teacher has made the recording,

but what it is more is a conference,

it's very similar to conferencing in a way that

it kind of feels like the teacher is sitting next to you,

going through your work and explaining some of the mistakes.

So, maybe I think, here it's the wrong choice of word

and you might need to think about that as well.

I think, one of the things here is you've pointed out different screen capture tools,

and it might be a good idea that when you point out these tools,

to talk about which tools are free and which tools are paid,

because JING is a free tool, but Camtasia certainly will cost teachers a hundred and --

I think it's about 170, 180 dollars to buy.

So I think it would be useful to provide that information in your essay.
