Thing 6 - Take 2

Podcasts and videos can be very beneficial in the classroom. I listened to many different speakers in my classes...most of which were very comical. There were also many that were great examples to what we were talking about. We were talking about building a brand this month and it was good to be able to see the different brands out there and where they came from and where they have been. It was easier to learn actually seeing it than it would have been just hearing about it.

This could be a good educational tool for students. The kids in my class are always on YouTube. This seems to be the only thing all of them get on anytime they have spare time. I don't really understand the fascination with that, but I guess they enjoy it. I have noticed also that they are always looking for unusual, funny, or different things. Videos could be used to inform students of different subjects to talk about in class, but you want to make sure it is a unique message. Have it be funny, or involve different types of presentation. They will be just as bored with a video if it is someone just standing in front of the camera as they would listening to boring material in class.

Use it to your advantage though. Any visual that is interesting and catches the attention of the audience is bound to teach them something.
