Principal Teacher, Andrew Howie, then uses online recording tool \u2013 Loom, to video himself explaining the problems and the solutions. Loom places a recording of Mr Howie in a small circle directly on top of the PowerPoint image, allowing him to be seen and not just heard and as these videos are relatively short, it is easy to record in one take meaning no editing is required.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">We then post the videos on to Google Classroom and Twitter. These post are scheduled (using <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">TweetDeck<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u00a0for Twitter) to appear at the correct time \u2013 9am for the problem, and 3pm for the solution. By posting the videos on Twitter we have also found younger pupils engage with them and share their answers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Moving ahead, we hope to record and schedule a whole week\u2019s worth of posts in advance.
