What Do I Need To Record Read Aloud Videos On Youtube

How to record basic read aloud stories for the students during our remote learning. Now, absolutely, I am not expert when information technology comes to video recording. Generally, I take small snippets of my classroom or whatever on Instagram and am done with information technology all. Only with this "distance learning" matter upon usa, and in my efforts to keep the love of reading alive for my students, I accept been forced to learn how to apply some basic video recording engineering.

Daily, I read a book aloud to my students. There have been many authors who take given permission during this shut down to read books aloud to students via video every bit long every bit those read alouds are locked down to some extent (significant, not just free and articulate on youtube for anyone to encounter.) And so each day, I choose a book that I know has been cleared.

Then, I sit downwards with my reckoner and open QuickTime. This application was already loaded on my Mac when I bought it. It is a super like shooting fish in a barrel video recording method. I printing "New Movie Recording" and the picayune box pops up. I press tape and I am off to the races.

Now, I am sure there are editing apps I tin can use (I do know that you lot can trim your video in QuickTime itself, as I have done that to cut off unnecessary stuff on the end) but I really haven't ventured that far. Generally, I press record, read the book, press cease tape and I am done. Like shooting fish in a barrel peezy.

Now, originally, I was just uploading these straight to Google Classroom (which is the platform I am using to keep my students organized and connected to their work through this shut down) but the videos stopped processing for some reason. And then I needed a backup program. I ready up a private YouTube channel that no one can access. When I upload videos there, they are locked downwards and so only I tin see them.

Next, I take the url of the video I uploaded to that private channel, and identify it in Rubber YouTube. Give thanks you lot to Kristen at Ladybug's Teacher Files for this tip! This site makes my video attainable to my form through a secure link. What is great almost it, as well, is that in one case I get the secure link, the kids ONLY tin spotter the video. No adds or "next video" pops up. (you can meet the side bar of the video I uploaded in the pic. In that location are no adds or annihilation.) Information technology keeps everything kid-friendly for them and makes sure that they are only seeing what I want them to see.

Afterwards the secure link is generated, I paste that onto my Google Classroom feed and the kids are able to watch the video.

This has worked out well for us and so far. I know that there are video services out there that offer more than in the way of editing and stuff, only for the purposes of reading a story aloud to my kids, QuickTime is working just fine.....and it is gratis and already available on my Mac.

What video services accept you lot apply to video yourself for the kids during this time of distance learning?
