I have used the new prezi format to develop a process for making a videocast, which can be used at KS3 to add breadth to the methods of feeding back information. I developed this for an APP task with a high achieving Yr 7 Science group who were having trouble getting to grips with what was required for a successful videocast. The PDF documents shows what is in the slides on the presentation. The presentation is available online at the web link given. Feedback would be much appreciated. Many thanks.
