Rawshorts for Explainer Videos

by

Most of us dislike the ads placed on our Facebook accounts, but every now and then an advertiser offers something of use to me as a teacher. I saw a recent ad for Rawshorts, a video creation tool. Rawshorts offers a 30-minute tutorial to get users up and running. Using some of their templates, I was able to create this video for my students.

The video shown below was made by fellow resource teacher, Matthew Gipson. He used his own creative style to help students learn how to behave properly in the computer lab. I’ll be showing both videos to my students during their first week back to school.

Modules include the following: Choosing a Computer; Wireless Communications; The Viral World; Internet Resources and Credibility; Creating Multimedia Products; Digital Relationships and Respect; The Future of Technology.  Extra resources accompany the program and include discussion questions and a vocabulary bank.
