As classrooms become more student-oriented rather than teacher-oriented, it's becoming more necessary for teacher to provide instructions for student activities that aren't reliant on lecture and repetitive explanation.  Teachers that create content that explains concepts or instructions that enable students to work on their own are more able to facilitate learning.  The site theLearnia.com provides teachers with a platform of creating their own video lesson either by uploading a PowerPoint presentation and narrating the presentation or by creating one on their own from scratch.

When you create your own presentation in theLearnia, you can add text boxes, background images, lines, shapes, and other media to your presentation. Record your narration to go along with your presentation, and then publish to social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and more.  You can also e-mail the link to your presentation or embed it on your class website. These instructional videos that you create are ideal for linking to a Google Classroom course or another Learning Management System course.
