Another great job as a teacher on the front page. We owe "Prof Etc" to Christophe Salomé who has been teaching for several years in the first degree, in kindergarten and elementary school on the side of the Maritime Alps.
Prof Etc is first and foremost a blog with dozens of video clips for students in French and Mathematics. As if that were not enough, Christophe also embarked on the creation of a teacher podcast that offers a wonderful gallery of teacher portraits.
Video capsules with notions in French and Mathematics
Christophe's website allows to find classified by categories all the video capsules posted on YouTube for several years. Navigation is ultra-simplified, the main thing is in the video. We choose from a menu French or Mathematics then the sub-heading. For French, for example, four choices are possible. Spelling, grammar, vocabulary and conjugation.
Each video is less than two minutes long. No frills, Christophe who signs his videos ‘the replacement master’ goes to the essentials through a virtual whiteboard to explain or illustrate the chosen concept.
The idea is to allow students to watch the videos quietly at their own pace. Ideally, before coming to class according to the principle of the inverted class. Videos can also be used to review notions seen in class.
‘I use my site with my students, in the reverse classroom or in the discovery phase, in the classroom. This seems to me to be the most appropriate way for the students in front of us today. The site is also a way to share my work with other colleagues around the world.” Christophe Salomé
A teacher podcast about teachers
‘I experienced profbashing very badly, which followed everywhere. I thought it was necessary to show teachers from a different perspective and to resonate (audio) what they have most inspiring.I am not at the end of my surprises, in this project, because I meet every week really extraordinary teachers.
