This content was initially developed for the 2014 Trainer’s Institute session Incorporating Low-Tech and Easy Videos and Photographs into your Professional Development delivered by Nicki Rowe and Patti Singleton as a three-hour hands on session. As technology has been updated and adapted this course has been updated to meet with current demands.

During this course you will have the opportunity to create your own video that you can use in your professional development. It is important to note that these outcomes do not include instructions on how to develop video, rather how video can be used. Due to the variation in the resources you have available (smartphone, video camera, webcam, etc.) and the pace in which technology changes, we will instead be providing resources to help you understand how you can use video and how you can create your own videos.

Handouts

Please download or print a copy of the course handout. The handout is in an editable PDF form, if you choose to download to enable you to take notes.

Uses: Consider the above examples of how on-demand video might be incorporated into professional development.

Refer back to your handout and what you wrote when you think of the term on demand video. What was the same? What was different?

Definition: constantly being delivered, over the internet. Participation is synchronous, meaning all participants must be watching and/or interacting at the same time.  Think webinars or video chat.

Refer back to your handout and what you wrote when you think of the term live video. What was the same? What was different?

Uses: Consider the following examples of how live video might be incorporated into professional development.

When a presentation is delivered, it is generally assumed there will be a visual. Overwhelmingly that visual is PowerPoint.

Below is a great graphic we can all relate to, something most people have been guilty of – a boring presentation. Read some of the statistics and the story about the vast overuse of PowerPoint. Keep these points in mind as you begin your journey through this course.

Welcome

This content was initially developed for the 2014 Trainer’s Institute session Incorporating Low-Tech and Easy Videos and Photographs into your Professional Development delivered by Nicki Rowe and Patti Singleton as a three-hour hands on session. This session sold out quickly so Child Care Aware of Kentucky created an online course for trainers that were unable to participate in the original face to face session. This course includes parts of that training session, along with enhancements made possible by evaluation and feedback.

There are a variety of services. Be careful which you choose, remember to always have permission to reuse a child’s photograph on a public website.

• First, find the photograph. It should be clear, and the practice you want to highlight easy to identify. If needed, crop the photograph before the next step.
• Second, determine what the audio script will be. Each service has a different audio length. Write the script out, practice and time it out.
• Last, follow the website or app’s instructions for recording and embedding the audio. Save the file, then use the instructions to share or save the photo.

 

Tips & Tricks

If you have a photo that is too large to upload, video tutorials are available online to reduce the file size. This is an example for Windows, but additional videos for a Mac are available as well, just search for “Reduce Image Size.”

If you have a photo that needs to be cropped, let’s say to take out irrelevant parts of the photo, here is a simple tutorial for Windows.
