So many videos - so little time. I love looking for cute or funny videos to introduce otherwise boring and difficult material. It is so easy to show them in class if you have a media projector - a problem for some I know. The only thing I always check is for how the video looks as it is projected. It often looks great to me on the computer screen but terrible in the classroom.
It does take some time to get through the videos to find what you want. I love the variety and I love the ability to bring a little humor into the classroom even if it does not pertain exactly to the curriculum!

You mention that you love looking for cute or funny videos to introduce material. I am struggling trying to find an efficient way to find pertinent videos. Do you have any hints to make searching more efficient?
ReplyDeleteI ususally just search the topic I am about to teach and then look at the most viewed video - it often seems to be the best - other than that it just seems to be a scavenger hunt!
