Using Videos within the classroom



The video created was based on littering and tourism in the Social Studies lesson. My group members and I realized that littering is becoming a major problem within Antigua and Barbuda especially with the young people of the nation. With tourism being the state's main industry, it is essential that persons are aware of the negative impacts which littering may impose on the state's aesthetics as well as tourism. Thus, in the video, littering is highlighted.

Students are inspired by the use of technology when used in the classroom context. Lessons containing videos may inspire them as it would be a new approach to the content. These videos can be used to reinforce a previous lesson taught or it may be used as an introduction to the lesson as it would grasp the attention of the students. Also, students may use movie maker to present group work. This would actually excite and motivate the students into working together on the project.
