The success or failure of a video-based lesson (of any lesson in fact) depends on the amount of time and effort the teacher put in structuring the lesson in order to reach precise objectives.<br />Unfortunately, some teachers use videos at school the same way parents use TV at home: as a baby-sitting tool. That's not educational technology. That's entertaining. Not enough at school.<br />On the other hand, there are lots of engaged teachers, like you Mariella, Laura, Monika (me!) and lots of others who try to use the video to engage, motivate, and support students (sometimes as a context, as it was said said in another post).<br />It's not an easy job, as you say, but it's exciting, and fun (most of the time, when you're not too tired!)<br />TeresaTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14212215692299405978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016387390545978969.post-5314142175844342132012-01-10T21:41:14.944-08:002012-01-10T21:41:14.944-08:00Hi Laura and Monika,

However, as usual, it depends on how you use them and with which objectives. <br />To my mind videos shouldn't be too long and have to be inserted into a path having pre-viewing, while-viewing and post-viewing in order to prepare, support and consolidate the experience. <br />No easy job again!<br />A big hug!<br />Mariellamariellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09260220001446191435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9016387390545978969.post-78037624464190081572012-01-05T07:05:21.135-08:002012-01-05T07:05:21.135-08:00Dear Laura,
I agree with you, many times it could ...Dear Laura,<br />I agree with you, many times it could be very subjecive what kind of materials is useful for our lessons. For example in a foreign language lesson so many topics there are...and sometimes the next "pass" depends on our pupils, and on the new ideas, not on the school-books.<br />But, a new opportunity brings new materials, and I think, it could be good.)<br />Maybe you know as well, but there is an other place too for teachers where you could find materials for your lessons, the name is TeacherTube. Hope, you will find it useful.)<br />Hugs,and thank you for sharing us the new opportunity),MónikaMónikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03295218644569269619noreply@blogger.com
