Videos on Biomolecules from www.edbiol.co.uk
Saturday, April 25, 2009 4:37Met up with @edbiol on twitter and checked his website out (WAIT…don’t go to his site yet, finish reading my blog first!!). Firstly, I like the website, very cool and looks much better than mine!!! I can see another weekend lost playing around with wordpress themes again.
He has posted on his site 4 videos covering lipids, carbohydrates, proteins and nucleic acids. They are similar to mine in that I think they are screencasts of PowerPoint presentations. The videos are basically key bullet points and diagrams. The sound quality is good, he has a soft northern irish accent and has a much better voice than me for videos. On some diagrams it can be difficult for a student to follow the audio because he does not use the pointer to direct attention to the section of diagram under discussion but other than that I think they would be very good revision tools for students. I particularly envision them being popped onto iPods for viewing and listening to. I don’t think it matters what exam board you do here as it is all standard biological molecules stuff.
Hopefully he will add more and I have placed a link to his site in my blogroll. Crumbs…that reminds me I should add the Mark Rothery site too!
Any way I have embedded 2 of the videos below plus a link to his site at the end so you can watch the others.
Carbohydrates (16 minutes 30 secs..ish)
Carbohydrates from neal mcknight on Vimeo.
Lipids (8 minutes 32 seconds)
EdBiol from Digmo on Vimeo.
The other two videos are on proteins and nucleic acids and can be found on Neils website:
