1 minute weekly web wonder – Week 3

Thank goodness it’s Friday, to help brighten up your day and to help you with your planning at weekends, I will be posting a weekly web based idea that will take just 1 minute of your time to read about. If you like what you read then why not try it out in your lessons the following week.

Cueprompter – http://cueprompter.com/

This is basically a free website which converts your text into an autocue, my students recently used it to talk on camera about what they had learnt about the different planets in the solar system. It means you don’t have to keep looking down at your notes as you are making your video or have someone on the other side of the camera holding up big pieces of paper with your script on.

Here is what the students thought about it:

“It was great, it really made me more confident about talking on video”

“Normally I can’t remember what to say or forget bits that I need to say this stopped that happening”

You can watch my first attempt at Cueprompter here:

A very rubbish 1st attempt at Cueprompter at least it is only 59 seconds long!

 

In the famous words of Gary Barlow ‘it only takes a minute…’

Happy Cueprompting!

  1. Hi Dan

    Thanks for this quick tip. CuePrompter looks like a tool that my students would find useful in their media project. They will be producing a TV news report to camera and this will really help with their self-presentation.

    Best wishes
    Paul
