Video in the Classroom reason #2

Video in the classroom canBreak up the routine of the

Lecture method.Quite often I have found that video has worked as incentive. Every student likes to See a video ( even the educational one) The incentive of the video has worked as A class management technique.

Video at the beginning of class is also a nice attention gainer in setting up your class. This offers a much nicer option for the students compared to the standard DO NOW Writing ssignment on written on the blackboard.

Video in the Classroom reason #3

Take students around the world. Video and live streams from students in a Classroom from another state and even with the proper planning and coordination other parts of the globe is possible.

This would promote classroom engagement and participation from the most Reserved and shy of students.

Video in the classroom: Example

Youtube offers just about every single schoolhouse rock song and video ever made.

Every single video can be used for a relevant , correlating, lesson.

One example I have used in class is the song Great American Melting Pot.

This lesson is used to drive home the following learning objectives

How America was founded by immigrantsThe dominant European nations that migrated to AmericaHow immigrants incorporated parts of their culture in America
