Wow!
Swivl takes education and training to bold, new places
What if . . . a talented English teacher could read Romeo and Juliet with her authentic Shakespearean accent and share
her performance with 10th graders throughout your school district?
What if . . . a college professor
could easily make a video selfie while demonstrating his Nobel prize-winning
experiment and stream it to college physics classes across the country?
What if . . . your best salesperson could demonstrate to peers exactly
how to close a deal by catching himself in action on video while making the biggest
sale of a lifetime?
All it takes to turn scenarios like these into realty is a
tiny rotating screen with a base smaller than a boom box. Introduced just this
year, the newest version of Swivl
promises to enrich education and training in ways never-before conceived.
Swivl is a
front-of-room video solution that does its own recording work while focusing on
its subjects. It’s a video-making machine that follows teachers through lessons
and college professors through lectures. The basic model of the Swivl
robot for North America pans 360 degrees continuously, covering images and
sounds throughout an entire training room or classroom.
Swivl can be
used by business and industry leaders, civic or government figures to cover
hearings, decision-making sessions, conferences or committee meetings. Once
Swivl captures the action on video, it can be shared with others(Swivl Cloud). It makes
training new employers to do the job as easy as recording departing staff
members while they work.
Swivl can
record any event effortlessly. Educators, speakers or program directors don’t
have to be experts to video themselves live. Since Swivl is a mobile
device, it’s as simple to use as a cell phone. Swivl's simplicity makes it very user friendly. It truly makes Swivl the
ideal tech tool to keep in classrooms, board rooms and training rooms.
Swivl videos can be used by teachers to enhance education by:
- Swivling their own classroom presentations to improve course content and delivery
- Posting lessons on YouTube and other sites to be saved by students for review
- Blending topics to tap into each other’s strengths, then used in individual classrooms
- Leaving critical content for substitute teachers to use when they’re absent
- Flipping classes
School administrators and other supervisors can accomplish
more by:
- Asking employees to record their performance in real time to be evaluated carefully later
- Filming clips of special projects and special events to show off their organization with web site videos
With Swivl, educators and corporate trainers will be able to connect better with today’s digital learners who are tuned into tablets, smart phones and multiple sites. Swivl videos can be kept in-house or shared with other professionals online.
Businesses and other organizations will benefit from Swivl
with:
· Video orientation sessions ready to use each time someone new joins the organization
· Presentations recorded by the best in the field available to new salespeople to describe products and services
· Technical demonstrations to take on the road to conventions and trade shows
· Improved engagement and team-building despite distances between corporate locations
· Time barriers broken in addressing employees across the country or around the world
Business leaders can literally be in two places at once by distributing video-taped annual reports or important updates to any city, state or country in the world where their company is located.
