Presentation

Omnipresent since the advent of the Internet, video is now an indispensable tool for communication and transmission of knowledge. It can be found everywhere, all the time. On our televisions, of course, but even more so on our computers, tablets and smartphones. Sometimes we even find it too much, hence the interest in knowing when and how to use it, for what types of content, in what types of projects. In short, knowing how to use it wisely. The uses of video have undergone many changes in recent years. And it is undoubtedly the means of communication most in touch with our current lifestyles.

Flexible, the video tool allows today to deal with all types of subjects, in multiple and varied forms. Depending on the message, the target audience, the place of broadcasting, etc., the video tool can be used in many different ways. Depending on the message, the target, the place of broadcasting, etc., a video can take on different aspects and be used for different purposes. With the development of technologies, anyone can now film and edit videos, the question remains as to how to do it properly and in what context it is most appropriate to use it. Integrated into the teacher’s “teaching kit”, the video tool can be used, as are podcasts, blogs, facilitation, etc., to transmit information, a message or knowledge in a different way, but not intelligently.
