Louis Toedt replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"In this particular lesson, your idea of stations would probably be as or more effective than most similarly themed videos as long as it was well-managed; rotating small-group scenarios can devolve into chaos so quickly if we let them. However,…"
Alanna replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"I believe that technology and videos should be used as a complement to traditional teaching methods.

Danielle M replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"I believe that there are of course effective and ineffective ways to use videos in a classroom.

Alton Kuhn replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"I believe video is vital in the classroom, but must not be used to death and become a crutch. The stat Thomas worte is amazing, how can we argue against video with a future that will rely so heavily on technology. Video is also great…"
Gary Benedix replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"I think videos are great at the end of a chapter.

Steven Christopher Johnson replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"Honestly, I feel that the use of a certain amount of video material in the classroom is a healthy strategy or activity to adopt if done properly and without the intent of having the video be the primary teaching device in the lesson.

Amy Erdman replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"I definitely think that the use of videos is crucial in education.

John Edward Fairbanks II replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"I think that this is awesome.

Jillian Kistler replied to Bill Biondolino's discussion Is Video Necessary in the Classroom?"Many students today are trying to sneak technology into the classroom.
