Screen capture
January 2000 saw an example of screen capture for the first time. With screen capture we can record the screen of our computer as if we had a video camera pointing at it ( voice and sound). Immediately thought That could be used for feedback. 6 years later, saw the actual technology demonstrated. Began experiments in May 2006 ( Greek student followed by group of Chinese students). In June/July 2006 wrote first published article on idea in the Modern English Teacher . Example with Chinese Student

Feedback
Students liked the fact the feedback was both oral and visual. Students thought they were getting more feedback ( about 150 words a minute). Students thought it was an example of authentic listening material. Students felt it was motivating. They liked the fact I didnt give them direct corrections. Students made point about the importance of the voice. The think the feedback is more personal. Students felt it was clearer. Later noted an interesting stylistic feature.

Problems
What happens if you make a mistake why giving the feedback? Is it possible to do with large classes? Requires time to upload or compress the videos before we can share them. Students cant read anywhere.
Reflective Examples
After doing a teacher practice session. After working with a technology and reflecting on its use/application/relevance. Using Jing http://screencast.com/t/oiTi7NAbs http://screencast.com/t/dzig3KkKAzQ3 https://present.me/view/47956-wallwisheractivity-feedback-reflection

Conclusions
Idea is being used all over the world.
Feedback idea is still in its infancy but offers a genuine way forward for some forms of feedback and in certain contexts. May provide clearer, more detailed feedback that is visually and orally balanced. May be especially relevant to distance courses. Has potential as a tool for reflection. We need more research and experimentation.
