Now Login Using Videos and Instructional Programming in Teaching Teachers who are developing teaching units or who wish to integrate media into a lesson should begin by doing a key word search or by locating the purple catalogues supplied to each school. The catalogues are usually accessible from the school library or from the school office.
Video is the most user friendly technology available to teachers.
The teacher should make choices for ordering based on a match of both the video topic and the grade level listed for the video with the grade level being taught and the lesson which is being taught. Teachers often select the videos they think are appropriate for their lesson and begin by showing the entire video to the students. While the students are viewing the video the teacher might want to determine which segments to incorporate into the lesson. Using a Post It the teacher could write down the sentences which would start the selected segments. Once the segment is identified he or she could even have a student in the fourth grade or above cue the tape for the next viewing.
