I found about three...Yes, my students love videos. I found about three years ago that a video of me dissecting was better than any instructions I could give them, written or verbal. I was so tired of having every group ask me "now where do I cut?" as I walked around the room, so I made my first video, and now have a little library of me dissecting our mink (senior anatomy course). Each one is only about five minutes long, and the kids can watch them as many times as they need to, or pause, etc. and I get a lot less questions in class about "what do i do next?" Now I'm working on videos explaining stoichiometry problems and recording my notes so absent kids can access them from my school website. It's a little time consuming, but I'm starting to finally reap the rewards after a few years of doing these things.science teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01927380910788121112noreply@blogger.com
