How do I get started?

Simply sign up at the top right of the page, and click around! There's lots to explore, see, and do.

Pupils get their own style of site, focused around the time travel element of the story. And more games.

You will find that it is possible to play the games without signing in, but you will get more benefits (such as high scores, new games) by doing so.



How do I upload a video?

First, make a video, using any video recording device (web cam, mobile/ cell phone, video camera).

Once you have the video file, you will need to "upload" it to Wordia. This requires that you 'Sign Up' or 'Log In' (using the buttons in the top right). From here you can go to the videos page and click 'Upload a Video'.

You will need to associate the video with a word from the dictionary, so type this into the first dialog box, and follow the prompts.

Because we use encoding.com to process out data, you should be able to upload the video in any format.

Don't forget to read YouTube's Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy when you register. We promise to keep all your details private - we won't share them with anyone, ever.



I love words/wordia.com and want to help promote it.  How can I get involved?

Fantastic - that's great! Thank you. Send us an email to production@wordia.com and we'll discuss how we can promote wordia.com together.



Is Wordia safe to use in my class to teach subject vocabulary?

Yes. It is a private destination that only other educators and pupils have access to.

We want to create a safe, moderated environment - a fun destination where you can discover what words mean and what they mean to people.

We also have a 'watch-list' were we moderate potentially sensitive words and their interpretations. We are busy setting up a community moderation programme where the wordia.com community gets to decide whether or not to remove videos that have been reported to moderator as inappropriate.



How can I use Wordia to teach subject vocabulary?

Wordia groups the dictionary denotations that relate to the subject vocabulary you need to teach - and provides the technology platform for your students to explore, learn, and upload the meaning of word.

We have created a 'wiki' environment where students can watch and explore other student's vocabulary videos. This shared perspective of language creates a rich pool of educational video.

You can use Wordia by class, by schools - or by sharing and exploring content throughout the Wordia network.

We are now building ways for educators to engage their class and provide evidence of learning.



I've just created a Wordia account, so why am I waiting?

Thanks for your patience! We're currently working on the sign-up process.

We currently confirm all educators' identity before we send you logins to Wordia. This is a security procedure, and we are sure you understand!



I see that Wordia is still in 'beta' – why?

We're hard at work building ways for educators to engage their class and provide evidence of learning. We are working with the educators, responding to their feedback and suggestions - ensuring that the environment is educator-led.
