Video Hack: Making Video for the Web (Lecture Notes)

Today we will look at the importance and influence of video in online culture. The aim of this is twofold. Firstly we will be talking about the video revolution that has been driven by the web and sites like YouTube over the past 12 years including the way in which we can begin to imagine ourselves as creators of content with a worldwide audience

We will look at some examples of successful videos on the internet and discuss the technical process you will undertake in your Beatbox project.

So we begin by looking at the impact of internet video over recent years.

Group students together in class using this Random Sequence Generator from RANDOM.ORG

Ever needed to organise students into groups randomly to mix things up a little? I just found this random sequence generator to do this. Here are the steps I followed.

  1. Grab a list of all your students in class.
  2. Put them into one column in a spreadsheet.
  3. Use the RANDOM.ORG – Sequence Generator to generate a list of numbers in random order equal to the number of students in your class.
  4. Paste that list into the second column of the spreadsheet and use that column to organise and randomise the list.

Works a treat!
