#2 How can teachers use video to promote student achievement?
Teachers should select a relavent video and watch it before showing it to their class. The teacher needs to be prepare with a post video activity(s) so to allow the students to get the most out of the video. More students will benefit from watching and hearing the lesson. Visual learners will be able to work and understand the material better and then auditory learner will still be able to function in a learning capacity. Those students that fall in the middle will be better suited to learn also with the choices between visual and audio. As we discussed in class students when they hear and see tend to retain 50% of the material as where just to listen is 20% and to see is 30%. Gardner's Multiple Intelligence Theory is a supporter of the use of video in the classroom and video helps you "accommodate" Gardner's theory as the article states. The more I think the more I will write.

I agree that the movies have to be relevant and the activity meaningful or all your are going to get is nap time in your class during the video.
I agree, teachers need to select videos that are relevant to what is being taught in the class. Videos should be used as a supplement to a lesson not just a time filler.
