Where do you go to find engaging, high-quality content for your lesson plans? Searching for short videos for students might feel like a time consuming task. As a classroom teacher there were plenty of times when I knew watching a video clip would help students better understand a concept, but I couldn’t always find the right videos to share with them. ClickView is a platform with video resources curated just for K-12 educators.
Today on the blog we’ll take a look at ClickView, a video platform for K-12 schools designed to make lesson planning easier. Whether you’re introducing a new topic or diving deeper into a complex unit, ClickView’s range of videos and innovative features can transform the way you teach.
Finding Short Videos for Students
When you’re searching for short videos for students, you want to make sure you find something that is educational and interesting for students. ClickView is not just another repository of random videos. Instead, ClickView carefully produces original series and licenses content from trusted partners like CrashCourse and the BBC.
They have a production team of 60 people with over 100 consultants from all over the world. They use their pedagogical expertise to produce videos based on gaps in curriculum coverage and trending topics where there is teacher demand for content. Instead of sorting through a website with videos made for anyone to watch, you’ll find fresh and engaging content curated with students. And the team at ClickView is constantly updating content that aligns with teachers’ curriculum needs.
In ClickView, every topic is curated and organized into subjects and topics to guide educators through a unit. For example, when teaching the Industrial Revolution, ClickView provides a high-level overview before diving into the intricate details. This structure ensures that students build foundational knowledge before tackling more complex concepts.
Each video can be customized with built-in quizzes and shared on all major Learning Management Systems (LMS). ClickView also integrates with gradebooks and you can track student performance in the assessment tool or platform you already use. The detailed analytics provide actionable insights, enabling you to address gaps in student understanding effectively.
Standards-Aligned Content for Students
ClickView offers curated, standards-aligned videos for teachers to explore. There is content for every grade level, subject, and topic. Need a science video for elementary students or a history lesson for high schoolers? ClickView has you covered. The videos on their platform are ad-free and copyright-safe. This means you can focus on delivering impactful lessons and feel good about the content you’re sharing with students.
When you jump into ClickView, you’ll find that each video comes equipped with classroom-ready, interactive quizzes. The quizzes are designed to foster exploration, explanation, and evaluation. They actively engage students, to make sure their video watching is a meaningful learning experience.
For teachers, the analytics dashboard offers actionable insights. If you have joined me for a webinar or workshop in the past, you know that I’m always looking for ways to gather data you will really use. With ClickView you can pinpoint exactly where your students struggle and adjust your teaching strategies in response.
