How can teachers use online videos in the classroom??

Here’s a “Quick List” of ideas!

Use online videos for…

• Documenting and filming students classroom presentations
• Movie or TV-show parodies
• Screencasts (a move of changes that occur on a computer monitor, often used for training and educational purposes)
• PhotoStory movies
• Film and book reviews
• Acting out plays or literature
• Cooking shows
• Science demonstrations
• Music videos

Ideas by Grade Level Clusters

• K-5: have elementary student’s interview family members or people in school, create a class video, create a video response to a book
• 6-8: design and film public service announcements about issues in their school or community, create skits, write, design, edit, and film a video tour for newcomers to their school, etc.
• 9-12: videos for any class, re-create historical events, record or photograph lab experiments, write autobiographies, share narratives, etc.
