How I make EDUCATION VIDEOS

How do I make my math education videos??? In this behind the scenes video I walk through the technology, the philosophy and my general view on making math videos for my students and for YouTube.

On the tech side, I use greenscreens overlayed over a powerpoint presentation filled with math equations and graphics. I'll talk about everything you need in terms of hardware to make all of this possible and the software which is where the real magic happens. I try to tell a story in my videos, minimizing cognitive load and showing as opposed to just telling. My videos are part of a larger learning process.

Some (nonaffiliate, nonsponsored) links:

Hardware:

Software:
Powerpoint for the presentation
MATLAB for the math equations
Premier Pro for the video editing
OBS for screen recording

3:06 The Software I use
6:13 The Pedagogy of my Videos
9:30 Roles of Videos in Teaching

Thanks to @mwesch for inspiring me to make this video, he is also a prof doing great work on youtube:)

This video was created by Dr. Trefor Bazett. I'm an Assistant Teaching Professor at the University of Victoria.

The video is a gem! The storytelling and tension and release method is literally a diamond skill

I think if I had your videos back in high school, I would've gotten an A in Calc 3. I retook the course in university and easily got an A+ because I was able to fundamentally understand the concepts as opposed to memorizing formulas and methods. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, I have been literally searching for : " How to make videos like Trefor Bazett" for quite sometime now. . . Thank you again for sharing, you are an inspiration.

This video is really impressive. I am a math teacher and I have always had this ambition to make my lessons attractive through videos. But I didn't know how to go about it. Through this video I have just found not only the solution to my problem, but also a mentor who will support me in my project.

[pipertripp]

That was cool. It's really remarkable how high quality "home" content can be now. Anyone of your videos would have been a massive production 20-30 years ago.

I've thought about doing videos on subjects I'm learning just because teaching seems to be a very effective may to learn a subject. Being able to explain a concept concisely with simple language really shows that you understand a subject.

Just came across your channel today, dear Professor. Your energy is infectious. Absolutely amazing channel and content!

Professor Sir,
Greetings and regards from India.
If all professors were enterprising like you the world education scenario would chage. Please keep it going. All the best.

[BoZhaoengineering]

Very pleased to see your all video in math. This is new era of MATH education!

[yolamontalvan]

Thanks professor. I think you forgot on the description to mention about that remote control in your hand. I’m trying to make videos on computer languages but I’m a slow typist. All your videos are very useful for a computer programmer. Thanks again.

[pikapuff]

Hey Trefor, I've been trying my hand at MathEd videos as well, and you literally released this video on my birthday! Thanks for sharing your expertise!

[LVenn]

Precious video. We need more people like you Trefor, thank you for what you do

[csvaughen]

That was fantastic! Well done!! Thank you so much for the behind the scenes, very professional results and brilliant philosophy, many questions come to mind about how education is changing but I think you are going in the right direction with exactly the right goals in mind, thank you for all the efforts, excellent work!

Thank you, Dr. Great video. Greetings from Mexico. Thanks for inspiring a revolutionary way to teach and learn.

[tasninnewaz]

Chalkboards, My favourite Display .
Awesome choice and brilliant philosophy.

[insightofmath]

Maths is all about visualisation. Thanks to many youtubers, nowadays students can easily able to understand how to visualise it .

[dr.akhalk.]

Great video with great suggestions 👍🏼
I have one hint, a good lavalier microphone (wired is better and much cheaper in my experience) will prefect your videos 😉

[rupe-huzz]

Even seeing the secret sauce itself is cool. Thanks for sharing.

[lucaborletti]

I’m signing up for the Junior Breakthrough Challenge, so a lot of your tips were really helpful in deciding which route I should go regarding my video submission - thanks!

[mukhinaolgi]

This video helped me a lot to understand how to create the educational content. Thank you

My man used the word 'overkill' thats it I'm satisfied
