I like the idea of using a video in the classroom and then having it accessible to the students outside of class. This will help students who have trouble focusing in a classroom environment with all their friends. <br />It will also help parents better understand what their children are learning in the classroom. Math is not something that can be easily recalled when you're an adult, especially when it hasn't been utilized in many years. If I were a parent, I think it would be easier to help my child if I watched a step-by-step video instead of reading a textbook.<br />So, yes videos help a student recall what they learned in class, but they also help parents help their children.Jess Madiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488902896030328927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659129692311420485.post-29562555554831851902009-10-19T23:47:06.412-05:002009-10-19T23:47:06.412-05:00I feel the same about English, Kathleen.

I read you blog about videos being incorporated within an English classroom and it opened my eyes at to how much I learned with videos in high school. Allowing students to explore the symbolism and characterization of a story by creating videos is a great way for students to get involved and have fun. Sometimes without even realizing how much they are actually learning about English. This allows students to understand the English concepts at hand and also how to become creative thinkers and learners. I completely agree with you that internet is going to be a great tool in the future, but I also think that incorporating videos into websites will help maximize the learning potential.Ben D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02788266387725950049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659129692311420485.post-56551045867088429902009-10-19T23:13:57.603-05:002009-10-19T23:13:57.603-05:00Ben, I completely agree with you.

It is so interesting to learn about the new things that can be done with the internet. In math there are so many things that I did not understand, and I would definitely have benefited from a website that coul have helped explain the concepts to me. I think that the internet is going to be a great tool in our future classrooms.Kathleen Ellisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00834396354320403649noreply@blogger.com
