3. About Video Using Video in the classroom "A lot of students these days expect information to be presented in a flashy, entertaining way, so videos can help draw them in. Though YouTube is blocked in many classrooms because of inappropriate materials on the site, there are many valuable (and downloadable) videos that do further learning. “ – Larry Sanger, WatchKnow.orgWatchKnow.org Teachers all across the country are finding that judiciously chosen videos help students engage more deeply with the subject matter, and recall the information they've learned longer. There is substantial research promoting the use of video in the classroom as a dynamic resource for supporting curricula. According to a recent teacher survey, 94% of classroom teachers had effectively used video during the course of an academic year. (L.Griffin, Library Video Company)
