      We are extremely lucky to have a wealth of instantly available, high-quality videos from websites such as YouTube and Vimeo to use in our classrooms.

      Jamie's work is very inspirational, and I am excited to be experimenting with video in my own EFL context, too.

      Like everything in life it is all about balance. I'm sure in every field there are some essential videos to watch, along with other more traditional mediums of sharing information. Videos are a must though.

      Projecting videos using a laptop and a projector. HELP!
      Submitted on 12 September, 2011 - 23:27

      I would love to use video in class but unfortunately my school does not have any such facilities available and doesn't seem to be willing to invest in them either.

      My idea is to bring my own laptop to the classroom next year, buy a compatible portable multimedia projector and a couple of speakers and teach using videos, powerpoint presentations, etc. The problem is I know NOTHING about multimedia projectors. Does anybody have any suggestions?

      Thank you all.
