People of all generations are turning to video to learn new skills, get inspiration, and help with fixing something. The same is true in the classroom. Teachers are filming lessons, so students can look back at the lesson after class, showing videos in class to help students better understand concepts, and using video to keep their students engaged. To help your customers start using video or expand their use of video, here are seven ways videos can support their teaching.
- Bolstering blended learning – When students are absent, they will no longer fall behind because they can watch the lesson anytime. If a student needs a refresher on a lesson, they can watch it again to ensure they understand the concept.
- Enlivening feedback – Leaving video comments makes it fun and engaging for students getting feedback on a paper or project.
- Bringing lessons to life – Instead of reciting the poem in the lesson, what if you show a video of the poet reciting the poem? While teachers can add excitement to their lessons, students find it refreshing to hear/see someone new.
- Supporting Visual Learners – Many students learn better through visual examples. Video make it easy to show concepts visually and keep students engaged.
- Providing a Practice Aid – When students are preparing for a presentation, students can record themselves and perform a self-evaluation to make sure they are prepared. This is also a good strategy for learning a new language.
- Offering Opportunities for Collaboration – By creating videos, students can work as a team and develop collaboration skills. Creating a video requires script writing, brainstorming, research, and communication.
- Creating Creators – Students develop creativity skills when making videos.
