EDUCATIONAL VIDEO
Let Dr. Shewell help you create professional educational videos. Dr. Shewell is an expert director and producer and can help you design and film your video from start to finish. He also does video editing and special effects.
Teach English Now! Excerpt #1
Dr. Shewell has spent the last 18 months developing the world's largest online TESOL certificate program, which includes many educational videos. This video is an excerpt from Course 4 on teaching reading and writing, and is a great example of Dr. Shewell's video design and editing skills. Dr. Shewell believes in using an innovative instructional design strategy that motivates learners and engages them to make course content memorable and "sticky". This video demonstrates the metaphor used in discussing dealing with different types of readers in a classroom.
Teach English Now! Excerpt #2
This excerpt from Teach English Now! shows an instructional style that requires much less special effect work, but is still engaging and "sticky".
MOBILE TECHNOLOGY
Dr. Shewell is an expert at using mobile technology in the classroom. Let him help design and implement your mobile technology solution to make effective use of technology your students may already have (bring your own device), or with a single device you provide. He can help design curriculum resources to fit your needs.
1:1 SOLUTIONS
Let Dr. Shewell help you design and implement a solution to get a device into the hands of every student. When all students have the same device, teachers know what to expect in the classroom, making it easier to design and implement curriculum resources and instructional methods in the classroom. Dr. Shewell can help determine the right device for your students needs, and design a solution and curriculum resources that make the most effective use of school resources.
VIDEO FOR IMPROVEMENT
Video can be a powerful tool for self-evaluation and self-reflection. Dr. Shewell has conducted research on how to use video for and teacher improvement. Let him design and implement a video solution that will help teachers improve their practice.
