Teacher Tube video on Fractions

Here is how you tube and teacher video can be utilised in the classrooom. Definitely something I will use greatly and here is why? To introduce, explain and examine in depth topics/issues, videos assist a range of learners and learning styles. Students could record their own video and post it to you tube for real world feedback and authentic task evolvement. To explain a difficult or uninteresting topic, video could be used as the “ hook” to engage students. Students could complete a topic on the media, and use video to demonstrate various components such as news commentaries, advertisements, sports, financial/stocks etc. Written, oral presentation and active learning techniques, aids in the complete understanding of a topic and higher order thinking skills to be developed. Ipods, cameras with video capabilities and video cameras are some of the tools that can be used to record video. I will be using video such as you tube and video in my pedagogy as a hook and a learning tool.
