Webinar “Watch this if you can! How to use video production in remote STEM classes”

Due to COVID-19, often lab experiences had to be cancelled and many teachers are in need of ideas for lab replacements. In this webinar the presenters show activities and, most of all, how to use technology to perform STEM labs at home and record them using the two techniques easily available on smartphone cameras and action cams: slow motion and time-lapse. With slow motion you can expand time to be able to see details that otherwise would remain unseen. With time-lapse on the other hand, you compress big amounts of time. This can allow you to monitor a long-lasting process through a long time period, squeezing time, so that the video recording lasts only seconds or minutes. This way otherwise invisible patterns can become recognizable. Students can design, prepare and perform their own labs and document them with smartphones or action cams using these techniques, even at home which is especially important in case of distance learning. The webinar is suitable for both secondary and primary teachers. Prior knowledge on video recording is useful, but anything can be learned in the field while trying the first attempts to record videos.

Please be aware of your time zone, the webinar is 16:00-17:00 CET (Berlin time).
