- 8. What Makes a Good Video? Questions to Consider • Does the video identify a clear topic to be discussed, a question to be answered or an objective to be reached? • Is the content accurate? • Who’s producing (and possibly starring) in the video? Is the content creator an educator, expert in the field or an enthusiast on the topic? • Is there a balance between educational content and entertainment? • Does the media used in the video add to or detract from the content? • Is there a wrap-up, summary or short conclusion?

- 10. How to Teach With Video Questions to Consider: What is acitve viewing? What is reactive viewing? How are they different?
- 11. Active and Reactive Viewing 1. Provide context. It all starts with setting up an essential question before you hit play. This is key to helping students watch the video with purpose and context. 2. Backchannelling. Using your essential question as a guide, have students take notes and react together, in real time, with a backchannelling tool. You can even join in on the action, and as an added bonus the backchannel creates a running record to review afterward. 3. Transcripts. One option is to have students follow along on the transcript and annotate as they watch. Better yet, have students read the transcript before watching -- this way students can create their own essential question for the video. 4. Multiple Viewings. Students may not always enjoy it, but watching a video more than once is key to going from passive to active -- and all the way to reactive -- viewing.
- 12. Active Viewing • YouTube. Make use of YouTube's closed-caption feature so students can watch and read at the same time, engaging different modalities. And, of course, use discretion when selecting videos -- it's always a good idea to preview anything you're going to show in class. • Play around! Explore tools like Vibby and EDpuzzle which allow you to crop videos, highlight certain sections, and even add interactive questions. What’s more, some of these tools, such as the ever- popular VoiceThread, will allow you to voice over your own comments. If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative to this, however, WeVideo is the way to go.
- 13. Reactive Viewing • Ted-Ed. Do you know that TED-Ed has a built-in tool for designing lessons that feature TED talks? It's a great way for teachers to add context to a video, but students can also use it to show what they know and create their own instructional videos. • Media Breaker. Give students an authentic reason to watch and understand videos by having them remix a video using MediaBreaker. Remixing requires students to understand the material deeply, and MediaBreaker encourages students to add critical, socially engaged context.

- 16. Have Students Create Videos! • Just as important as guiding students to watch videos is giving them the opportunity to be creators and producers of their own videos as vehicles for learning about all kinds of subjects. • Self-publish sites like YouTube and Vimeo provide a global audience for students’ multimedia projects, giving their work another layer of relevance. 4th Grade Students’ Video HS Students’ Videos
