Finding and Using Streaming Videos for your classroom NIHS Edition

Why do we need to use video in our instruction? Think about something you’ve learned to do through video-based instruction and write it down. Was it effective or not? Why do you think it was (un)successful? What type of video instruction are you using currently? Do you wish to use more? What are some of your obstacles? And by using video I mean, not checking out a movie and showing it in the place of instruction, but instead incorporating it into a co-teaching experience.

Was it effective or not? Why do you think it was (un)successful?

What type of video instruction are you using currently?

Do you wish to use more? What are some of your obstacles?

And by using video I mean, not checking out a movie and showing it in the place of instruction, but instead incorporating it into a co-teaching experience.

Ideas about videos Video can show a preview or a teaser to a lesson. Video can show relevance to a subject. Video is an element that grips our students’ attention better than anything. Well, short of a cell phone ring. Finally, if you can make a video, you can alter your demeanor a bit or use your classroom character to establish a different way to instruct children you’d normally miss in a direct instruction environment.

Why I use videos For me, it is essential. I’m an English teacher, so when someone comes in and asks me how to find the volume of a triangle, my head kind of pops gears as it tries to remember that it is something close to the area of a triangle and I remember something to the tune of Base times height or something. For that, I resort to video And because of that, I usually sit over the student’s shoulder and watch a tutorial on the math problem and then I try to remember it, and it will work, for a week or so.

How to find videos online, or at least some hints.

Web 2.0 I could try to explain this to you verbally, but I think a video link might be the best .

What is an example of a Web 2.0 site? There’s tons of sites out there. From Facebook, to Flickr, to Twitter, to Amazon, to DeviantArt, to Gaia Online, to YouTube, to Blogger. Basically any site that uses web applications while focusing on collaborative user content to generate traffic. We’re going to look at Delicious.com

What does Delicious do And why do I need to know? Delicious is one of a few book marking sites that allows you to carry bookmarks from one computer to the next, or to share bookmarks amongst other users. While I can shoot a bookmark to a friend to share a joke, I can also search anyone else’s bookmarks. This means that I can find preferred sites through Delicious, better than Google search. It also is a great tool for group research projects using multiple computers.

How to download YouTube (or elsewhere) files for your class First off: get a bookmarklet for your browser at this site . Now that you’ve installed the bookmarklet, find the video you want and try to grab it using the two bookmarks. (Also if it is on another site, check Google/YouTube for a copy of it.) Now that you have your file, you can place it on your class website/blog, or upload it to a location that can host it. If you don’t have a place, we need to see how to help you with that.

Recap Our kids need varied instructional methods, video is a quick outlet for such. Web 2.0 tools can help educators collaborate and share ideas with one another. Knowing the different media files can help you know which ones you can use in class. You can download video from YouTube and other sites and show them in class, or offline, or rehost them on another server. Some subject areas are harder to find video, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be made.

What will Web 3.0 Be? That is the real question today. In my mind, it will be an “augmented reality” where the internet hosts information on the web that interfaces in real time with physical reality. One of the early “browsers” could be out in the next 2-5 years.
