This document discusses using video in the classroom. It notes that video enhances curriculum by helping students create authentic connections, provides learning opportunities for visual learners, and incorporates real-life examples to increase student motivation. As an example, a physics teacher showed video clips demonstrating Newton's laws of motion to help students appreciate the topic by having them analyze the actions and reactions using both everyday and scientific terms. The document argues that using digital video makes lessons more relevant by highlighting how physics applies to everyday life.

Classroom

2. Rationale
 Enhances curriculum
to help students
create authentic
connections.
 Provides learning
opportunities for
visual learners.
 Incorporates real life
examples to increase
student intrinsic
motivation.

3. Example
One of my lessons that I have incorporated
videos in was a lesson on Newton’s 3 laws
of motion. Newton’s laws take place
everyday at any time, and many disregard
the significance science plays in real life. To
have students appreciate the topic, I
showed a series of video clips
demonstrating actions and their reactions.
Using these videos, I had students analyze
those using layman’s terms, and then again
using proper physics terminology.

5. Advantages
 Digital images/video would make my lessons
more relevant because it helps me highlight
the presence of physics in our everyday
lives. Here, students can draw upon past
experiences and prior knowledge in which
helps increase student motivation while
creating authentic connections between
curriculum and real life examples.
