Using Video to Motivate Your Students
//It's one thing to talk about Mount St. Helens erupting in science class. It's another thing altogether to watch a video of the mountain's summit exploding into dust. Teachers all across the country are finding that judiciously chosen videos help students engage more deeply with the subject matter, and recall the information they've learned longer. // //**from Edutopia **//

Youtube for Teachers
 * Limit your searches to respected sources. Most established newspapers, museums, libraries, radio stations, and institutions have specific channels on YouTube where they collect their content. Just search by the name of the outlet on YouTube (say, PBS), and that organization's channel will pop up. From there, you can search exclusively within PBS's content.
 * Check out the teachers channel on YouTube . It starts with a ten-step tutorial on how to use YouTube in your classroom, with many more tips available if you join the YouTube Teachers Community and sign up for the e-newsletter. Teachers and students can upload videos here or create playlists from those already available, which range from Khan Academy’s explanation of the Cuban Missile Crisis to a rap about the Krebs cycle.
 * Try the YouTube education channel . It allows users to search within it for videos on a wide range of academic subjects. Most of the content is aimed at university-level students, but may be accessible for younger ones, too.

Video Sharing

= Effective Use of Video in the Classroom =
 * //Video can be an exceptionally effective resource in the classroom for many reasons.//
 * //It allows students to actually see history as it happens.//
 * //When it is used to enhance visual memory, video can be a very valuable tool.//
 * //Video can reach children with a wide variety of learning styles.//
 * //It can bring fresh and timely information into the classroom.//
 * //It can serve to expose students to people, places, and events that other learning resources can't.//
 * //Video should never serve as the entire lesson, but rather as an enhancement to the lesson or unit of study.//
 * //It is important to remember when using video that the medium needs to be manipulated to meet specific instructional needs.//
 * //It is not something to use to fill time but rather as a very valuable asset to make the information personal and interesting for the learner.//

When using video the following ideas should be considered:
1. __**Preview each video first**__. You must determine what is appropriate and what portions of the video have application to your lesson. You want to engage the learner, make him/her think and "see" content in action. Pick the clips that match your objectives, is suitable and will involve the learner in the proposed lesson. Pay attention during your preview to vocabulary, new concepts and special areas of interest. Look for the segments that best tell the story and meet your objectives. Also look for segments of the video that call for student response or interaction. Determine your purpose in showing the video--to motivate students, introduce a new concept, reinforce a previously learned concept, or enhance and expand current knowledge.

2. **__Provide a focus/reason for viewing.__** Give the students something specific to look for or to listen for in the video segment. This will focus attention, encourage active viewing, and give the student an objective or reason for viewing.

3. **__Segment the video.__** Instructional videos contain a great amount of information. Usually much more information then the student (or teacher for that matter) can easily digest. Segmenting the viewing and using clips in a lesson you offer information to students in manageable chunks. By incorporating hands-on activities, discussion and other types of interaction around these clips or segments, the student is much more likely to meet the learning objectives of the lesson.

4. __**Conduct pre- and post-viewing activities that will integrate the video into the entire lesson structure.**__ Previewing activities can serve a number of purposes, from checking prior knowledge, introduce necessary vocabulary, and set the stage for new learning. Post-viewing activities should allow the student to reinforce, review, apply, or extend their new knowledge in a meaningful, hands-on fashion.
