Tips For Using Video In The Classroom....

1. Use videos to create a fun learning environment for the students. This will also allow students who are visual learnings to better grasp these new topics.

2. Create a video with appropriate transitions. Not crazy ones, too many, or videos without transitions.

3. Set up an environment that will work well for recording. (e.g. no noise, bad lighting, etc)
