How to use it in and outside the classroom?
1)It could be used for classroom presentation. Instead of letting the students do the presentation in front of their mates, why not let them prepare this incredible video presentations at home and play them later in the classroom.
2)Teacher might want to use this platform to provide students with extra notes. This can be beneficial especially during the examination weeks as the students revise the notes to the utmost.
OMG..I do like it..
1)It is free. They do have paid version with some extra but the free version is not that bad.
2)It can help to lower students anxiety when doing the presentation because nobody sees them. Some students do not like to do presentation. So, this tool will help them to develop their confidence and sooner or later, they can stand in front of their mates and do the presentation.
3)The content can easily be accessed.
4)Brainshark honored as Best of E-learning! Award Winner.
Points to ponder.
1)If you are using the free version, your video presentations will be made public. In terms of privacy, this is not good. However ,if you use the paid version, you can choose either to make it public or private.
