CREATING and SHARING INFORMATION with MULTIMEDIA TECHNOLOGIES
Focus Question 3: How can teachers use video resources in their teaching?
- Videos and DVDs are widely used teaching tools that, when well made, convey important information in academically interesting, visually engaging ways.
- Video viewing can be a passive experience unless teachers create opportunities for students to interact with and respond to on screen material.
- Successful strategies for using videos and DVDs in interactive ways include the pause and rewind buttons, asking students to write responses to what they have seen, recognizing that briefer video segments carry a large impact, and varying the viewing experience by occasionally turning off the sound or the picture.
Tech Tool 9.2: Resources for the classroom PBS Teachers
Provides up-to-date listings of television programs shown daily and weekly at your local public broadcasting station, including programs especially for students. I love how this chapter talks about PBS! I loved watching PBS when I was younger it had so many educational programs but at the time I did not even notice that at the time I just loved their cool age related programs that involved dancing, science experiments, interactive games, riddles and much more. PBS offers wonderful teaching resources at any grade level. My favorite show on PBS was ZOOM an educational television series, created almost entirely by children which made it so much more fun.The video below was one of my favorite episode the Cup challenge:)
Summary and Connection
This Chapter focuses on the importance of using software such as PowerPoint, videos and DVDs, digital and cameras to present information for learning. The information in this chapter was very useful for me because me wanting to be an elementary school teacher, I know that using a lot of visual aid is important for younger children.I really like the idea of students collaborating to make their own classroom movie on subjects like Language Arts, History acting out an important person back in time, Math, demonstrations of procedures, Student-created presentation, video lectures, video portfolios etc. That is something I would enjoy doing myself!

PBS is a great resource - glad you re-discovered it and from a different perspective this time! :) Video and other multimedia is now available from a variety of resources, but it is good to be sure it is a reliable one, which PBS usually offers. They also offer great resources for professional learning for teachers, so definitely good to keep as a 'bookmark'! :)
