Lesson Plan For Using Video in the Classroom
Lesson Plan For Using Video in the Classroom
Most educators know video content is a highly effective teaching tool because it is so engaging for students raised in today's video age. Research shows that humans, especially children, process visual information 600,000 times faster than text and that visual aids have, in some cases, improved learning as much as 400%.
Using video, a teacher can develop a lesson plan that:
- Provides a common experience for all students
- Generates interest and stimulate imagination
- Offers a different perspective or another approach to a topic
- Connects students with far away times and places
- Demonstrates abstract ideas
- Stimulates the development of critical thinking skills
- Enhances self-respect and break down social stereotypes
- Promotes critical viewing skills and media awareness
The truth is, even though using video in the classroom can breathe meaning and life into nearly any lesson plan, the task of appropriately incorporating video into daily activities can be daunting. How do you know what video will best address a specific learning objective?
Fortunately, educational video is well represented on the Internet and all the providers include search engine and detailed product descriptions on their websites. With a few clicks it is possible to find several available titles, and with a few more clicks, determine if the content will indeed meet your lesson plan needs.
