Videos
Overview
Providing visuals to introduce, support, or review instruction activates more cognitive processes to support learning. Videos also allow students to experience stories and scenes outside the classroom by capturing their Attention. The use of videos for instruction that reflect the cultures and diversity of students' backgrounds can bring multiple perspectives and experiences, which fosters students' Sense of Belonging and engages students in authentic learning opportunities, particularly for Critical Literacy.
