Process
- What kind of feedback would a vlogger/blogger want?
- What things does the vlogger/blogger hold important, so that they need to be exposed in the video?
A few days before the session, the teacher asks pupils to watch at home a few vlogs and to think about their favourite vloggers/bloggers/youtubers.
In the class the teacher shows one short vlog-video to the class to start the discussion. Students are then separated into small groups of 2-4 people for the continuing activity. (10’)
Each group presents to each other the videos they have selected at home and have a short discussion about their content. Each group selects one of the videos for the following activity. (10’).
Each member of the group writes down a short transcript of the video. There aren’t specific requirements for doing this - the idea is to write down anything that catches the pupils’ eye in the time given. (10’).
After writing, each member of the group presents the writing to the group. What kind of differences/similarities are there in the writing pieces? Did everyone take notice of the same things? How well is the video presented in the writing pieces and is the content the same as in the video? (10’).
The teacher holds a closing discussion about the activity. (10’).
In the final discussion, teachers should give possible examples of problems related to online self-exposition. It is also advisable to have a closing discussion about the pupils’ own ideas and reflections about the subject.
