Using Technology Well: David Deubelbeiss interviews Ana Maria

Last week, David Deubelbeiss (living in Seoul) creator of  the wonderful ning community EFL Classroom 2.0 got in contact with me for an interview for his new website ELT INTERVIEWS.

What an honour! He'll be interviewing several teachers who have been exploring the web around the world to share their experience.

Apart from the echo, the interview went very well. Loved talking to you , David. You're a great interviewer as you put us at ease.

During the interview we talked about my job, my blog,  the e-book I've published, using webtools with my students and Cultura EDtech , the online course I run to train teachers.

Camila Sousa interviews Ana Maria about Cancer

Camila Sousa, a dear friend of mine, who teaches in the US asked if I could answer some questions her students wanted to know about Cancer. Watch our interview.



We used http://wetoku.com for the interview.

This is a tutorial I've made showing how to record your interview with WETOKU, very simple.

Originally, we tried http://wetoku.com for the interview but we had delay both in sound and image. The result was a catastrophe. Therefore, we decided to use http://screenr.com to record our interview in Skype and it worked beautifully.

Interview with WETOKU

I've just read a message in facebook about an interview Nik Peachey had with Graham Stanley from the British Council talking about their work in Second Life. The tool used was WETOKU. I was enchanted by the idea of being able to record an interview with such good quality and then be able to publish it in a blog and even share it in twitter or facebook. FANTASTIC!

PROBLEM: I believe you need an invitation code though (which can be requested in the site).



How can we use this tool with students?

• interview people from other countries or experts in the area you're studying. Then, publish the interview in a class blog so that you can show it to your students.
  
• have sts interview each other as a class project.

Great features: no download is necessary, you can interview , record it and get the embed code all in one place.
