When it comes to instructional resources, very little surpasses appropriately applied video content. It can develop the context of a problem by giving it a face.
Clipping videos and using them in short segments makes them more effective when presenting information. Streaming and embedding websites such as Teacher Tube and United Streaming afford teachers an almost endless source of instructional material. Previewing and placing the clips at pertinent spots in your presentation makes them an effective device. Misapplied by simply running them with no support is an almost unforgivable instructional mistake. Remember, your students are immersed in a world of visual stimulation and like Pavlov's dogs can have a conditioned response to seeing them.
Videos must be prefaced before viewing and followed up to determine if students comprehended what they just experienced. In other words the video needs to be "packaged" in your presentation so that when it is opened it produces the expected response.
