How is everyone doing!
Happy Monday!
Time to start a fresh new week, whether it be at school, work or home!
Today we will be talking about a tool that is one of my personal favorites!
dotsub
Dotsub is a Web 2.0 Communication Tool, that can allow you to integrate captions and subtitles to videos that you have previously downloaded and uploaded to Dotsub's server.
This tool can help ELLs (English Language Learners) and other (Foreign) Language Learners understand what they hear, since Hearing is one of the four primary skills of learning a language.
This is what the homepage says:
The only skills that a teacher or instructor needs to have when they use this tool is the knowledge of the Primary Language, and the Target Language. What does this mean? If I am teaching a Spanish class, and I have a video in Spanish, by logic, I must be able to caption this video in Spanish, and I must be able to add English (or other language) subtitles to the video.
Thanks to this special feature, students will be able to read the captions or subtitles since the video may or may not be in their mother tongue.
Let's watch a short tutorial video!
This tool is already in my Web 2.0 Toolbox!
Will you put it in yours?
Yes or No? Why?
Here is a little challenge for you guys :D
You have until tommorow at 11:59 PM to caption/subtitle a video and make a "How-To" Video using any of the following tools: Screenr or Screenast-O-Matic, both are free tools that you can use to make these videos.
Submit your videos via comments!
Submit your video along with the name of the tool that you would like me to talk about in the next post!
Best of Luck!
And have a great monday! Come back on Thursday for another Web 2.0 Tool Talk!
