Vine's purpose and usefulness in the classroom
- The purpose of Vine is to let users create very short videos on anything they like, where ever they are as long as they have a device with the app and an internet connection.
- Teachers can create fun short videos to engage students in specific parts or points of a lesson.
- Students can use vine in the same way, to illustrate part of a digital project or to collaborate with peers; one person or group does a video on point 1, another person or group on point 2.
Advantages
- The tool is simple to use
