Using Video Content in the Classroom

Using video content in the classroom is different from flipped learning practices. It's important to start here.

Flipped learning most often involves utilizing video content outside of the designated classroom space in order to offer more dynamic, interactive learning experiences inside the classroom. Using video content in the classroom most often involves integrating video content into the classroom learning space to meet individual learner needs. Using video content in the classroom could be utilized to differentiate learning through a station rotation or individual rotation blended learning model. 

As a reminder, check out these videos on blended learning models:

Research indicates that video content delivery can be powerful in communicating facts or demonstrating procedures, allowing students to view mechanical or complex procedures at their own pace and as many times as needed. Further, strong evidence from recent research shows that using video in the classroom can lead to increases in student motivation and autonomy. 

With this being the case, it's important to consider how we can use video content in the classroom effectively. We do not want video content to be used to babysit students while in the classroom, and we do not want video content to create a barrier between the student and the teacher. So, how do we do this well? Let's consider a few methods in the next few pages.
