Videos increase student engagement, which in turn helps boost achievement. Studies have shown that the use of short video clips allow for more efficient processing and memory recall. Visual stimulation encourages student interaction with the content. It also creates a bigger memory imprint in a student’s mind, making teaching with videos perfect for information retention.
My students are hungry for more information, and they are ready and motivated to take learning a step further. The nature of learning technology in the classroom of today is that we use online resources. There are many short video clips within the curriculum that helps students to retain the material and provide for reinforcement at a later time. Students are at different levels of learning. When students have to wait for the teacher to see the videos it decreases motivation and can even support the waste of time or off-task behaviors for others.
Having these requested Koss headphones to allow individualized instruction helps the teacher by allowing her to work with the struggling students while the more advanced can move ahead. But more importantly, headphones give students the opportunity to learn how to learn, independently of the teacher. "Teach someone a concept and they learn for the moment; teach them how to learn and they learn for a lifetime."
