Viewing Guidelines

BEST PRACTICES for Showing a Video in class

1. Make sure it follows the Board Policy for ratings

2. PREVIEW it, whether you get it from the media center, Youtube, Learn 360, another teacher, etc...  You are responsible for what you show in your classroom.

3. Make sure it is instructionally sound and tied directly to course standards

4.Students should complete previewing, during viewing and post viewing activities related to the video

5. Pay attention to length of video viewing. Can it be broken up into short segments over multiple days? Does it really need to be shown in its entirety for a full class period to meet the instructional goals.

6. Make it relevant to the students. Why should they pay attention? How are they responsible for the content?

VIDEO RESOURCES

1. YouTube: YouTube is no longer permitted for elementary and middle school students. Parent permission is required for use with high school students. 

  • Teachers may project a previewed YouTube video on their screen during instruction. YouTube links cannot be shared in assignments such that students are playing the videos.

  • Teachers can also contact the creator of the YouTube video to request the original link to the video (prior to being uploaded to YouTube). No YouTube links can be embedded in student assignments.

 

2. Media Center: The media center has DVDs available for teacher's to check out and portable DVD players if needed. Stop by and browse the collection.

 

3. Learn360: Visit the media center page to access the link for Learn360. Learn360 offers educationally geared videos including segments, lesson plans, and other activities. It is also searchable by standards.
