This little tool for YouTube videos is very simple. It splices your videos (hence the name splicd), so you can start and stop at exactly the right place.
You can do this without a web site, by changing the URL at YouTube, but it is hard to remember how to do it. Here, you just put in the YouTube URL and the time it should start and stop.
Some of the teachers in the department think that advanced topics in grammar must be taught in English. I beg to differ. Take a look at these clear explanations of advanced grammar points in videos from Business English Pod.
If you don’t know what a wiki is, try the wikipedia entry for wiki (English, Japanese).
pbwiki is one of the simplest sites to set up a wiki. It is designed to be as easy to make as a peanut butter sandwich (pb). Now, if you are using Moodle, there is a built-in multilingual wiki. But if you aren’t, this is a great alternative.
YouTube is great for looking at and sharing video. But sometimes, you want more control over your distribution. With a Pro account (about $60 a year) at Vimeo, you can send out an email to people with a URL and a password. They don’t have to sign in to vimeo, or become a member. They can just watch the video online. And the videos can remain private to only those people you send emails to. You can also restrict which places can put up copies of your video (embedded) if you do decide to make the video public. There are also options to download the video as well as stream it. HD, or high definition, is the new standard in online video. Much better than previous versions.
If you use a projector in class, you probably have piles of powerpoint presentations. Why not let your students look at them at their leisure (and you can keep a copy online in case you lose the original). You can make a set of slides from a powerpoint presentation in minutes, upload it to SlideShare and share it publicly or privately.
You can add your voice to the slides if you like. This is a wonderful way to share your information with your students.
