What teachers can do in the classroom with the video

In Peques and Más we have started to also generate video content, all your own content, and other videos that we publish on the blog, can be viewed on the YouTube channel. And, it seems to me that video is content that can add a lot of value to readers because of its brevity, simplicity, conciseness and immediacy.

The video is a format that has a long way, especially thanks to the diffusion on the Internet, because it allows to generate community by explaining in a simple and visual way how things are done. The question then is: how do we start? And through the Celestino Arteta blog I arrive at this presentation that shows more than 40 uses teachers can make in the classroom with the video. I assure you that many are relatively simple to implement and that they can also be shared in the classroom with the digital board although it is also possible to use all the tools that are available on the Internet.

The video, in a way that is not professional, is relatively easy to generate and assemble to use in class. It seems to me that it is a language, that of cinema, that offers great possibilities for children because it allows them to develop creativity, learn to speak in public or even boost their theatrical abilities.

According to Celestino, one of the expert teachers in the use of ICT in the classroom, the document is a very well translated translation of a Tom Barrett document called "45 Interesting Ways to use your Pocket Video Camera in the Classroom".

In Peques and Más we would be delighted to know how teachers practice with these tools in the classroom and we invite you to share it so that the reading parents can see the students' progress and can also practice it at home.
