Q: What platforms can you recommend for preliterate students?
A: It depends what you want them to learn. There are thousands of possibilities for play, listening, speaking and early reading and writing. ELLA is one. You might like to use video clips and gestures and get them to send you back a short video of themselves (maybe filmed by Mum or Dad) having a go. There are also lots of story books, songs on YouTube, or you might like the new Juice Bar Animated Powerpoints.
Q: What are the tools for cleaning up a YouTube video?
A: There are lots of sites. Maybe try SafeYouTube. page 7 Q&A
