Questions to consider when using audio and video software:
What software is available to make audio or video recordings?
Is there a colleague who can help me get started?
How will I share my recordings?
Will my pupils be able to access and use my recordings from multiple devices?
Are there alternative ways for pupils to access the material?
How will I communicate feedback to my pupils who provide me with a video clip of their language practice?
