Hi everyone! I am struggling to get my creative juices flowing again--I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on how to watch videos in class and make use of the guiding questions/prompts without doing a worksheet or EdPuzzle. Since it's the beginning of the year, I am reluctant to dive too quickly into discussion-based activities as I have struggled with getting students to interact and speak up in the past. All suggestions are appreciated!!

This is something I struggle with as well. I feel as if videos get a bit monotonous and students sometimes tune them out and don't pay attention unless they are connected to an assignment. I do feel that the information in them are vital an would like some suggestions on how to change it up occasionaIly. The tips Julianne gave was good. Have you considered doing a virtual discussion? Last year I created a google doc and shared it with all my students and prior to watching the video I gave them rules about our class doc, no innappropriate commentary, statements, or images. Everybody is required to write at least one question they have from the video, try not to repeat questions. I would type a few of the guiding questions through out and at the end of the video I would give them five minutes for everyone to attempt to answer one question from another student and any unanswered questions we would discuss aloud at the end of the five minutes. because I added 3-5 extra questions there was always unanswered questions. I would start with some of the answered questions and give kudos to students that answered then and give them the opportunity to provide more detail on their thoughts which would loosen the room up for open discussion.

Kamilah Williams I love the virtual discussion idea! Do you have an example that you could share? Do you have students put their names in their discussion posts, or do you allow them to remain anonymous and use the version history to ensure everyone has participated?
