How would you use an mp4 player in your subject?

Posted on December 3rd, 2007 in Uncategorized by lynnehorn

If your pupils were given mp4 players how would you use them in your subject.  All our Seniors have the opportunity to get an mp4 player which will store files, as well as although them to view photos and video and record sound.  They also have radios.

Some staff and pupils are unsure of how they would use these in their subject, so no matter what subject you teach please send me some ideas.  PE teacher and myself can think of many across subjects, but it would be good to get concrete examples from subject experts.

Thank you in advance!

    In maths, there are many excellent screencasts which pupils could load onto their players. Even better, make screen casts yourself and show pupils how to make screencasts.

    Hi Lynne,

    I thought you mind find this mp4 converter useful. I’ve not tried it myself, but it looks interesting:
