Including videos into the learning process represents such a very powerful tool in this more becoming teledirected instruction; television simple makes things to come alive, in real time if necessary, so the children have a positive reinforcement of topics, previously discussed in class, that illustrate such diversity of themes.
Kids seem to be more involved into the matter of study when it is represented by images in a coherent sequence; they also seem to abstract and better develop such themes when they are prompted to respond to what they are being exposed to.
I posted two videos that may be useful in a 3rd grade class. The first one is about a guy that trekked across the Amazonas River for two and half years, those images provide us, as educational leaders in our classrooms, with the opportunity to explain concepts such as landforms, maps, exploration, tropical life structures, etc…The second one is about Martin Luther King Jr. and it can be used to introduce one of the greatest American heroes and the importance of our civil rights and obligations as citizens.
