Teaching with Videos Strategies and Tips for Enhancing Classroom Instruction
Introduction • Goal • To acquaint the audience with theories and strategies for enhancing classroom instruction and reinforce content materials though the use of video. • Implications for your work (E3 Framework) • Enhance Engage Extend
Agenda • Benefits & Barriers • Learning Theory and Instructional Design Strategies • Resources and Tools
In this presentation, we are going to focus on two theoretical orientations of uses of video in the classroom: student-centered and teacher-centered. • Student-centered is defined as situations in which the learner is actively involved in the production, editing, or manipulation of video • Teacher-centered is defined as situations in which the student passively views the video
Taxonomy of Learning • Learning Styles and Multiple Intelligence Theory (Gardner, 2000) • Three major modalities or styles of learning • Auditory • Visual • Kinetic • Gardner extends the traditional theory of learning styles to incorporate other attributes students possess.
Student Benefits • Provides a common experience for all students • Generates interest • Offers a different perspective on or another approach to a topic • Connects students with the content • Visualize abstract ideas • Promotes critical viewing skills.
Teacher Benefits • Source of information • Modeling • Demonstrate process • Assembling visual and audio information • “package” various media • Magnification medium such as a dissection experiment • Emphasize details • Introduction • Stimulate interest, provide overview • Stimulus for discussion (use in conjunction with KWL Charts)
Barriers • Time intensive • Equipment issues • Planning issues • Technical “know-how”
Video and Learning Theory • One of the reasons for the use of video in the classroom is that it is good for both auditory and visual learners. • Further, it meets the criteria for engagement through the use of multiple intelligence, engaging all aspects of the student.
Using Video in the Teaching and Learning Context • Questions to Consider • How does the video support the curriculum? • How will students benefit from the video? • How can the video’s effectiveness be assessed?
Before using the video • Preview the video • Review/develop print/web related materials • Determine whether you will use the entire video or only relevant segments • Prepare the classroom environment and the equipment • Stimulate students pre-existing knowledge (e.g LLTW strategies)
During viewing • Give students a focused viewing assignment. • Use one short segment at a time to direct the learning experience. • Encourage student awareness of content
After viewing • Provide an “after viewing” activity. (eg. KWL chart) • Questions, Questions, Questions
Examples of Video • Mitosis • American Field Guide
Resources • Digital Video in the Classroom • Theodosakis, N. (2001). The Director in the Classroom: How Filmmaking Inspires Learning. San Diego, CA:Tech4Learning Publishing. • Discovery Ed- United Streaming
Video Development Tools • Adobe Premier • iMovie • Windows Movie Maker • Camtasia
Key Points to Remember • Video should not be an add-on! • It should have a purpose and be integrated with other course materials and activities. • Use short segments. • Be veryfamiliar with the segment! • Have a plan and work your plan
Key Points to Remember • Video should support the learning acquisition process, which is a progression from recognition or input through manipulation or processing then to production or storage stage. • Think of information processing theory and the transition from short term memory (shallow learning) to long time memory (deep cognitive reflective type learning).
Closing - Chinese Proverb • In closing, think of the expanded wisdom of Confucius When I hear, I forget.When I hear and see, I remember a little.When I hear, see, and ask questions or discuss with someone else, I begin to understand.When I hear, see, discuss, and do, I acquire knowledge and skill.When I teach to another, I master. Remember teaching with videos provides opportunities for learning, understanding, acquiring, and mastering content knowledge.
Questions • Questions, comments, and next steps • March 30, 2009 – Educational Technology Workshop Series (1 pm - 5pm) • Sessions include, pod casting, teaching with videos, digital storytelling, web 2.0 tips, tricks, and strategies, and much much more.
