Thanks for commenting- this just proves that we need more time to share...sad that we have to give ideas via the blog when we teach right next door to each other! D-

I turn the sound off on the US and I talk through the video explaining to the kids what they need to know. I put key words or new words on the board and make sure to use those. Then, after I have "talked/shown" the video two or three times with me talking not the US video talking, I have the kids turn to their partner and I play the video again (still with no sound) one of them has to retell the video in their own words and then they switch. I saw this technique at the ESL conference I went to last year in KC...it was pretty cool. The presenter picked a really difficult topic but I still remember everything that the video was about and could probably repeat it back.....now that doesn't have the technology part like having the kids do the voice over, but still shows they master or at least on a lower-level, understand what is being "taught". Have you looked at inserting the videos in Windows Media Maker?? Amy,

That is how I solve most of my tech issues, just keep clicking until it works:) Not very savvy I am afraid! Lisa- Lori A. told me you could drop the US video into imovie, then change the audio to allow students to do voice overs- I am in PC world, so I am looking for a program that would let me do that same thing. I will post here when I find it:) Thanks for visiting the blog..as you can see, I have already faltered on the blog a day thing-but hope to catch up this weekend.

Don't forget to join the DEN in RL and SL to continue to network with others about using Discovery Streaming. Lots of great webinars, workshops and blog and forum help. I was glad to help.

A post a day! I'm impressed. BTW...how do you allow children to do voice overs? It must be another tool. I would love to go through US training and have been speaking with my administrators about it. I'm jealous! What a great undertaking! A post a day! I’m impressed. BTW…how do you allow children to do voice overs? It must be another tool.

I noticed that you have a Show Yourself badge on the sidebar. Did you do that with a special widget? I haven't been able to get mine to work in EduBlogs. Have fun learning!
