The Teacher's Domain

I had a difficult time watching the movies without interruption becuase the quality was not perfect when i played them, but besides that i think they would be very useful. The videos would be wonderful to use in a classroom and help all different students who learn in different ways be able to connect with a lesson i am trying to teach. I think I could use it for all sorts of subjects too. The children would respond better to a video like this because it would be like watching TV and different from any day to day routine listening to a teacher talk.
The videos also had a wide variety of topics like i said to suit more than one subject, and i think any grade could make use of these. Children could gain help paying attention watching these movies because they provide a helpful way for them to remember information. It is almost like a study guide for kids that the teacher can set up on the computer, except it wouldn't be written so they could lose it or get bored with it. If the teacher wanted to have a review day before a test this would be a good and fun break for kids.
Visual learning is usually successful, for all ages. The videos grabbed you and displayed colorful and vibrant picture that would be a good way for students to retain the facts that they were learning. This is a very good resource for elementary school teachers to incorporate technology in the classroom. They can encourage children to learn how to use it, and teach students that it can be a good and helpful source of learning in the future if it works for them and they get more out of it than other study ideas.
