Video Resources- Video's are amazing to enhance the learning of a lesson. The majority of my students do not have many experiences outside of their apartment or home. School is very important because it's where they get most of their learning and using video's will enhance my students knowledge. When using video's students understand concepts more rapidly and are more enthusiastic about what they are learning. By using a video the students are able to retain more information. They are able to feel like the are actually apart of what is happening in the video. It's incredible to watch the students make new connections between different subject areas. As a teacher, our main purpose is to get our students motivated and engaged in hands on learning experiences. When you plan a lesson that goes along with your TEKS, you will have success in getting your lesson across to your students by using a video.
