Must-Know Video Tips for Students
In this new webinar, I have ten tips to share with educators on making the most of videos this year. Here is a quick preview of just three of the ten tips I’ll share:
Consider Blended Learning
Blended learning combines the best of in-person and online instruction. In this webinar, I’ll share strategies for teacher-created videos and how they can play a pivotal role in making blended learning initiatives successful. We’ll explore how you can record instructional videos using ScreenPal to ensure students can access lessons anytime, anywhere. For example, a math teacher might create video tutorials for a skill students are reviewing independently.
Empower Students with Video Creation
Student-created videos are a fantastic way to encourage creativity, critical thinking, and ownership of learning. You might ask students to explain a concept, demonstrate a skill, or present a project through video. Teachers can foster a deeper understanding of the subject by encouraging students to create videos. This approach boosts engagement and helps students develop important digital communication skills.
Engage Families with Shared Videos
Sharing instructional videos with families is a powerful way to strengthen home-school connections. When families can access teacher-created videos, they can better understand classroom expectations and the material their kids are learning. For example, a teacher might record a quick video explaining a new reading strategy, such as using context clues that they can practice with their children at home.
