Videos in the Classroom

Top 10 Teaching Methods for Videos in the Classroom

HOW
1. If using videos from other sources, select short segments that are truly applicable to your lesson
2. Give students a specific assignment to focus on while viewing
3. Show one short segment at a time so that you can direct the learning experience
4. Always preview the entire video first
5. Make it available outside the classroom like on the website or blog
6. Keep the room somewhat lighted, darkened rooms promote inattentiveness

WHY
7. It engages visual learners
8. It can keep the interest of the students in a way that textbooks can't
9. Students live in a technological world, it's important to connect with them in a way that they are familiar with, it makes the learning easier
10. Videos can be great supplemental tools to other lessons that are being used
