Lighting: Lighting is KEY to creating video if you want to feature. The more light, the better. I use these cheap softboxes that you can get on Amazon. They’re designed to give a soft, natural, daylight look and they work brilliantly, making you look the professional.
Periscope: Periscope is the amazing live streaming app developed by Twitter. It allows you to stream live to followers anywhere in the world. Use Periscope to teach and inform your students, to collaborate with colleagues and to reach out to those who would love to learn what you are teaching.
