Often in the day to day trenches students find it difficult to see their progression. Vlogs are a great way to help students practice their language skills an it is also a great way for them to see their progress. Vlogs are essentially blogs on video. The 3D nature of ASL necessitates a more functional type of blogging than is typically done in a written format, therefore, vlogs are very conducive to this type of project.
Vlogging is a great way for students to recap what they have learned in class that day. You can give them a prompt, similar to a writing prompt, and they can create a short daily vlog. This isn't something that necessarily has to be graded for skill.
There are programs available where teachers and students can create channels specific to their class. These channels operate like folders on a desktop. In this way, you can keep your class content organized and students can easily find their work.
One recommended site that is teacher-student friendly is School Tube. This is similar to YouTube, but the content is monitored so that you feel safe using it in your classroom.
Do you have other ideas on how vlogging can be used in your classroom?
