Movenote

If you, as a teacher, want your students to record and share small video presentations with other group members of the class or with you, you can easily suggest your students to use Movenote. Students can download Movenote from Google Play, App Store or from https://www.movenote.com/.

Getting Started:

The following video has been recorded using Movenote and it shows how to use Movenote for presentations.

Advantages:

1. It is easy to record and share using this application. The video files are easy to share. You can share the link in email, youtube, linkedin, twitter and other social media sites.

2. It does not need a lot of technical knowledge to use it.

3. Laser pointer is an advantage which helps to point out any important part of the presentation.

Limitations:

1. For using this application, affordances should be there. The students need to have the mobile phone and they should be allowed to use it in the classroom. In many cases, the educational institution does not allow students to use mobile phone in the classroom. So, the teacher needs to consider it as well and may ask students to use it at home for homework or project work.

2. High quality video may not be created by using Movenote. Therefore, if the teachers want to give oral feedback or instructional video to the students, they may consider using other types of screen capturing tool.

3. Editing the video will not be possible by using Movenote.  If the teachers use website, then they will be able to add or delete slides by going to the Re-Order option, but editing the whole video once it will be ready will not be possible.

Sample Activity:

1. The teacher can divide students in pairs and give a pair work of an activity which involves speaking. Each pair can record the task/work using Movenote and share with other pairs through links. they can also show it in the classroom to other pairs. If they have a chance of creating digital portfolio and submit it to the teacher as part of the assessment, they can record and use it.

2. Students can record their presentations and can watch it to assess their own voice modulation, intonation, pronunciation, facial expression. In this way, they will be able to prepare themselves.
