This video expresses my take on the benefits and damages of using videos in the classroom.

2.  Video creation in the
classroom is something
that can definitely be
used with a
differentiated instruction
plan.
 Video creation could be
used in differentiated
instruction by allowing
students to have
personal connection
and understanding to a
situation and/or topic.

3.  By creating videos in the
classroom students are
working at the highest level
of Bloom Taxonomy. Video
creation is at the highest
level because students are
able to emerge themselves
in the topic and learn so
much about it. To ensure
students are at the highest
level of Bloom’s Taxonomy
student’s should be
encouraged to
demonstrate as much of
the given topic to display
understanding.

4. Pros
 Students are able to creatively
demonstrate knowledge on a given
topic.
 The videos created and the information
given may be well received by peers of
the same age.

5. Cons
 The educational purposes of the video
can be lost depending on students
creativity and facts presented in the
video.

6. Watching videos can
assist with differentiated
instruction because it
may be more
entertaining then being
lectured to and
students may be able
to relate to the video
more than a normal
lesson.

7.  Watching a video in the classroom can
fall on the Bloom levels of:
› Understand: Students are able to learn and
capture information.
› Analyze: Students can gather information
from videos and dissect and/or analyze it for
the lesson.
› Evaluate: Students can watch videos to
debate a given idea or topic

8. To ensure that watching videos is at the
highest possible Bloom level, instructors
should encourage students to react from
the video in some way. Encourage students
to take what they learned in the video and
create something that can express that
knowledge to the instructor and their peers.

9. Pros Cons

classroom can take away
from the traditional teaching
methods and some students
can lose meaning of the
