Ways to Use Video in the Classroom
Introduce yourself with video — You’ll look more approachable when you use video instead of the standard introduction speech. You can incorporate your credentials, hobbies, and favorite music all in one video.
Videos to start or finish a new unit — Use video as a “sneak peek” of all the awesome information to come. On the flip side, videos are great for reviewing what you’ve taught. Wrap up a lesson or unit with a video of key concepts to emphasize their importance.

Make a video research report — Let students engage with their research by presenting with video– they’ll find appropriate pictures, video and music to demonstrate their new knowledge on topics like world cultures, historical figures, or scientific phenomena.
Video scavenger hunt — Want to find out if students really “get” what you’ve taught? Set them loose to find examples! Give them a theme like “acute angles” or “vocabulary word: gregarious” and watch their videos bring the concept to life using examples from their own lives.
Make a video book trailer — If you’re an English teacher, this is definitely one of the coolest projects out there. Students make a “movie trailer” advertising a book they’ve read by matching a brief plot summary with complementary pictures–but no spoilers! Students will also love choosing a song that perfectly captures the mood of the novel.

Make your own video PSA — When you teach students about recycling or staying healthy, you want those lessons to stick. Make an online video public service announcement to reinforce these ideas.

Record student learning activities— Students record themselves or a peer while completing a learning activity. They can watch their video repeatedly to reinforce the learning.
