Throughout school, I’ve learn lots from videos and was genuinely supported meaningfully through songs, dances, and other interactive videos, like quizzes.
Some video resources that helped me through Elementary:
-Bill Nye the Science guy
-PHE running activity videos, students love them!!
-Math Antics my goat
-Khan Academy
-Math songs, French songs
In order to teach in a way that’s fully accessible for all students, try to make sure you’re using captions! Youtube has an auto-captions feature, but you can also add your own captions if you’re making a video yourself.
The videos used for education follow this cycle:
Video you create to help learners – Video sourced online created by others to support teaching and learning – Video students create to demonstrate learning
Making videos
When making videos, try to keep them as short as possible for attention spans! Enthusiasm and energy are key!
Storytelling and humour can help keep videos entertaining. Also try to make videos reusable, so don’t be too specific about who you’re addressing in a classroom.
Embedding videos into websites is a good way to keep students focused as well, if you’re nervous about letting your students browse Youtube.
