Tool 8: Using video resources

Videos are very useful in the classroom. I have been using videos in my classroom for a while (approved and provided by the district of course) as a complement to, and to enhance my lessons. It is a good way to reach students of all ages and provides them with many experiences that otherwise they would not encounter in their daily life. Videos are an excellent tool to improve students’ oral language. It allows students to focus their attention during an instructional activity. There are thousands, if not millions of videos in the web that are allowed for educators to use in the classrooms from sites such as Teachertube, Watchnow, and Edutopia
I will use these two videos to help with our Plant Unit.
