**Description**
Versions of this presentation have been offered at several online and land conferences. The presentation is continually updated.My goal is to show some ways in which you can use video with your students. Video online is free, easy to edit, and highly accessible. It gives students the opportunity to be creative while offering a great deal of authentic language practice.

You can find all the presentation references, which are updated frequently, at **[|Video References]**. I keep a continually updated archive of useful video sites at **[|EVO Video]**, which is linked to the current [|Electronic Village Online] session (Jan-Feb annually), sponsored by the **Video and Digital Media Interest Section** of **[|TESOL]**, the international professional association of language teachers. (The new sessions will be announced in December.)

**Abstract**
Most people working in business today find they need to be familiar with the Web environment--the Internet, Web-conferencing, Voice over Internet, and video--in order to complete the ordinary tasks of their work. Video is used for training in many areas, and is of particular value in the language classroom. Video Online speaks to the many free, easy-to-use applications and websites available to help students learn how to master the visual environment of the Web. Using and creating video helps develop the 21st century skills of visual literacy, collaborative learning, and technology mastery. This presentation will show some of the online sites with ready-made language exercises, content-based sources for project-based learning, and ways that students--and teachers--can get behind the camera themselves.
