When instructional video is used in the classroom, students retain more information, visually understand concepts more readily and are more passionate about what they are learning.

Students need more than just exposure to video, more than just consumption of video in the learning process. They also need to be taught how to evaluate and use information. They need to learn strategies for analyzing media and understand point of view. While information literacy and media literacy are not the primary focus of this website, we believe it is important to discuss these elements every time a video is used in the classroom.
