Instructional Video - Multiplication

Assignment Title: Instructional Video


Uses in the Classroom: An educational video can have a huge impact on student learning in the classroom. It is an added resource that engages students in a different way within the classroom. This video is meant to primarily be an introduction to multiplication. Understanding that multiplication is simply repeated addition can be a tricky concept for some students, so creating a variety of different ways for students to learn about this concept can be key for their understanding.


After viewing this I would have my students use their iPads to demonstrate the concept of repeated addition. They can do this through a variety of different apps that I have downloaded on their iPad.


Issues to Consider: Not all students are going to benefit from seeing an instructional video so it will be crucial for teachers to consider an alternative method for students who need to learn with a different technique. Of course there are always technology issues to consider. In this case having the proper software and internet capabilities are critical when using an instructional video. One also needs to consider the copyright laws depending on the video created.
