The evidence is in. Digital-based learning benefits students. 1:1 student-to-device ratios. Tech-fostered collaboration. Student response clickers. Blended learning and flipped classrooms. When teachers leverage technology, learning outcomes improve.

Whether to enhance a lesson or be the lesson, options are virtually endless. From virtual labs and games to digital textbooks and online curriculum, digital classrooms rely on video. For decades, research has revealed the benefits of using video in the classroom. With better tech, use of digital video content has skyrocketed and multiple benefits abound.

The Rise of the Digital Classroom

Our lives are changing more rapidly than ever before. The first 20 years of the 20 th century saw more technological advancement than in the entire 19 th century. The prediction for the 21 st century is even faster. In the 100 years of this century, we'll experience the equivalent of 20,000 years of progress, at today's rate. ¹

Education is no exception. Classroom layouts, teaching methods, ideas about testing (and so much more) are transforming almost before our eyes. Amidst this rapid change is a sense of urgency. Educators are striving to transform learning environments to meet changing needs. Students must be prepared to compete and contribute in a global economy. Tech plays a crucial role, as districts scramble to create "the digital classroom of the future."

Every year, Project Tomorrow conducts its Speak Up poll. It's a survey of K-12 students, parents and educators. In 2015, more than 90% of district administrators said instructional tech is important to achieving their core mission of educating students. Parents echoed this view. 84% said that school tech adds value to their child's learning. 78% said the best way for their child to develop college, career and citizenship skills needed for success is the regular use of tech at school.²

Blended learning combines traditional classroom learning with self-paced online learning. Districts using blended learning are on the forefront of using digital content. These pioneers found blended learning to be so effective, they increased use from 42% to 61%. That's a 45% increase in just one year.³

Principals at blended learning schools agree digital content increases student engagement. 63% also believe it increases the relevancy and quality of the instructional materials. Among the teachers in these classrooms, 50% or more stated that because of digital learning, students are:

Working together more often

Developing greater problem solving and critical thinking skills

More motivated to learn

Taking greater ownership of their learning

Students agree. Two-thirds of middle school students said that effective technology use increases their interest in what they're learning. ⁴

Evidence-Based Benefits of Video in the Classroom

Instructors have been using video to support learning for decades. But, video has usually been relegated to supplemental learning. In today's digital classrooms, video is by no means a new thing. Research over this span of time has consistently shown the positive benefits of its use. Evidence-based findings indicate using video in the classroom: ⁵

Facilitates thinking and problem solving

Fosters mastery learning

Inspires and engages students

Helps develop learner autonomy

Delivers authentic learning opportunities

Video's power to inspire and engage goes beyond increased attention. It's been shown to increase motivation and improve grades. 6 Notable among these findings:

In some cases, video can be as good as an instructor in communicating facts or demonstrating procedures to assist in mastery learning where a student can view complex clinical or mechanical procedures as many times as they need to. ⁷

In the digital classroom video is new only in its improved quality and wider availability. The use of video in the digital classroom will continue to expand. As it does, insight into the benefits will undoubtedly likewise grow. At present we know that principals who've employed blended learning in their schools say that the use of digital content: ⁸

Increases student engagement in learning (75%)

Extends learning beyond the school day offering students opportunities for self-directed learning and remediation (72%)

Increases the relevancy and quality of the instructional materials (63%)

Provides an innovative way for instruction to be personalized for each student (56)

Decreases the traditional dependency on textbooks (51%)

How Teachers Use Video in the Digital Classroom

Video is becoming the go-to tool in digital classrooms. According to one survey, 94% of teachers used video the previous academic year. On average, they used it at least once per week. 9 Is the DVD player-laden media cart a thing of the past? If not yet, it will be soon.

Online Video

In the 2016 Speak Up survey, 68% of teachers said they used online videos in 2015 - compared to 48% in 2010. That's a growth rate of more than 40% just 5 years. The survey further revealed that over three-quarters of middle school students (78%) are themselves using online video for learning.Parents surveyed further supported digital video for learning. 64% said that watching online videos can help students learn by supporting different learning styles. Another 59% appreciated video for enabling students to watch repeatedly as needed. ¹⁰

Another study showed that 49% of blended classrooms use online curriculum. ¹¹ A growing phenomenon is the use of teacher-created videos. Doubling in use from 2013-2014, 20% of digital classroom instructors in the 2015 Speak Up survey were developing their own video content to support the curriculum.

Digital content is clearly making a major impact in K-12 education. In addition to the videos noted above, blended classrooms are using online textbooks (37%), animations (29%), and virtual labs (14%) ¹² Students may in fact be using video at least as often as their teachers. Savvy instructors rececognize their students' YouTube affinity, and are tapping into it by assigning video projects instead of presentations. ¹³

Flipped Classroom

Video is a must for flipped classrooms. First, students watch content at home. The source could be a teacher-created video, the Khan Academy, or other digital resources. Students then discuss the topic during class time. As noted by the Center for Digital Education in its Q1 2015 report on digital technology trends:

By offering lessons that would have traditionally been presented during class time and then making those videos available online, students are able to access lessons anytime, anywhere. This allows students to learn at their own pace and on their own time. By using video, educators can often cover more subject matter and move through topics quickly as they do not have to slow down to check for understanding. Additionally, it empowers students to take control of their own learning - they can speed up, slow down or re-watch each lesson as needed. Students can also use video in a flipped classroom model to work collaboratively on group projects during class time. ¹⁴

Research strongly suggests that flipped classrooms are a positive for instructors and students alike. ¹⁵ As a result:

96% of educators who have flipped a classroom or lesson would recommend it to their colleagues

71% of educators saw improved grades after moving to the flipped classroom model

52% of instructors share videos created by other educators with students

How Students are Using Video

Data and teacher experience are far from the only drivers of video in education. Student experience is a key factor in the explosion of video in the classroom. Today's school-age children have never known a world without video. Among children age 8 or younger, 21% use smartphones. Around three-quarters of teens own smartphones. A quarter of these say they're "constantly connected" to the Internet. 16 91% of US teens watch Youtube, compared to just 55% that use Snapchat and 61% that use Facebook. ¹⁷

Since video is a constant in students' personal lives, it's natural for them to want to use it for school. Here's how students are using video to support their education: ¹⁸

More than a third (38%) of students seek out online videos to help with homework.

27% said they regularly watch videos created by their teachers.

74% of 6th-8th graders said they watch online videos for schoolwork.

The top subject areas in which the students in grades 6-12 watch videos to support schoolwork are science (66 percent), math (59 percent), social studies/history (53 percent) and English/language arts (45 percent).

Supportive Technology for the Digital Classroom

Effective video-based learning requires the ability to see and hear content clearly. Classroom technology must have adequate audio and quality image display. Chromebooks and tablets are designed for use with headphones or near the user.

These student devices can be counted on to deliver sufficient audio quality. The audio provided by classroom displays, however, can fall short. To engage a roomful of students, large screen displays need top quality audio.

Projectors and Interactive Displays

Projectors and interactive displays are often evaluated solely by their image display abilities. Unfortunately, many manufacturers treat audio as an afterthought. Projectors may lack audio altogether. Those that do often deliver sub-optimal audio quality that's difficult to hear throughout a classroom. Look for projectors designed with both audio and image resolution in mind.

ViewSonic education projectors are known for reliable, outstanding image quality. They also incorporate robust audio capabilities to support the range of multimedia applications. When shopping for a projector, consider brigthness, lamp life, laser and short throw options. Laser projectors are a great budget-minded approach, as they have longer-life capabilties compared to lamp-based projectors.

If you're interested in an HD projector for education, consider short throw or ultra short throw options. These projectors work best in smaller classrooms, by being closer to the screen. Short throws provide the added benefit of preventing any blinding lights from distracting the presenter. They also prevent any distracting shadows or finger puppets from being cast onto the screen.

Interactive projectors with SonicExpert™ technology are designed for higher volume and enhanced sound quality. These compact speakers are powerful enough to fill classrooms with clearly audible, wall-to-wall sound. SonicExpert™ projectors deliver higher volume, advanced sound clarity and full-range sound thanks to multiple design features, including:

Improved transducer driver design. The use of quality materials suited to small speakers delivers stronger sound and wider frequency range.

30% larger speaker chamber. Boosts feedback power and creates a wider frequency range for reduced distortion and stronger sound.

Software fine tuning. Developed through extensive mixing and testing to deliver a best-fit sound response curve. The result is clearer, more comfortable sound.

Interactive displays are another option, as they easily allow for annotation, screen recording and watching videos from websites like YouTube. Adding additional speakers for loud, amped up sound is easy via the SPDIF audio-out port.

ViewSonic ViewBoard interactive displays are an all-in-one solution. ViewBoard IFPs come equipped with an embedded processor, web browser and dual integrated speakers. This empowers students and instructors to seamlessly integrate video, apps, and web-based content. They can then write directly on top of content and save it to share or refer to. Powerful dual speakers deliver stereo sound for an immersive multimedia experience.

Video In The Classroom

Video has been an important teaching tool with a proven track record for enhancing learning. Today we are on the forefront of an even greater reliance on video in the classroom. Both teachers and students are creatively leveraging video for learning. The use of video will continue to rise for the foreseeable future. Greater availability of tech and faster internet connectivity are key factors in this growth.

Increased evidence about the benefits of blended learning benefits will further continue to promote the use of video. As schools equip themselves to support multimedia learning, the careful evaluation of hardware audio in tandem with image quality will enable students to most fully benefit from this transformative trend.

Teachers Using subtitled video as a teaching aid in the classroom gain many benefits including greater student interest and improved reading and literacy skills.

There is substantial research promoting the use of video in the classroom as a dynamic resource for supporting curricula. According to a recent teacher survey, 94% of classroom teachers have effectively used video during the course of the last academic year. And most teachers were using it frequently - on average, once per week. But why?.

As educators, our aim is to get students energized and engaged in the hands-on learning process, and video is clearly an instructional medium that is compelling and generates a much greater amount of interest and enjoyment than the more traditional printed material. Using sight and sound, video is the perfect medium for students who are auditory or visual learners. With the added use of subtitles each child then has the choice to watch, listen to, or read each presentation. Video stimulates and engages students creating interest and maintaining that interest for longer periods of time, and it provides an innovative and effective means for educators to address and deliver the required curriculum content.

Video Creates an Experience...

Consider teaching with the voices from the past by introducing students to great historians, political figures and famous people who lived centuries ago. Envision the classroom in which children hear the cry of a nearly extinct species and see the colors and hear the sounds of animals that thrive only in a remote wilderness half way around the world. And what about investigating the laws of motion, sound and energy transfer by viewing the launch of the space shuttle on its voyage into space? Think about how much easier it would be to understand the diverse cultures of people who live in other areas of the world if you could encounter them in their own environments - hearing their songs, observing their rituals or listening to their silence.

The benefits of using video in education includes providing a sensory experience that allows concepts and ideas to actually become an experience and come to life as students are guided through each adventure.

Video As a Flexible Teaching Medium...

The more interested and engaged students are, and the more interactive each learning session is, the more students will enjoy, learn from and retain information from the lesson.

Video provides a means of interactive instruction and is a very flexible medium. Having the ability to stop, start and rewind is absolutely invaluable. It provides the option to stop each video and challenge students to predict the outcome of a demonstration, and elaborate on, or debate a point of historical reference. You also have the option to rewind a section of the video to review a segment to ensure that children understand a key concept. You can ensure to add further interactivity by copying activities, conducting discussions or repeating demonstrations and experiments in the your classroom.

Effectively Using Video in The Classroom...

Research has demonstrated that the most effective way to use video is as an enhancement to a lesson, or unit of study. Video should be used as a facet of instruction along with other resource material available to you for teaching a particular topic. Teachers should prepare for the use of a video in the classroom in the same way they do with other teaching aids or resources. Specific learning objectives should be determined in advanced, instructional sequences should be developed and reinforcement activities planned.

However using the most appropriate online educational video service provider is extremely important so each teacher has the confidence in advance of the quality of the content and instruction provided. Using the right online educational video service should help teachers or parents to minimize lesson preparation time by enabling them to easily identify and select the right video for the lesson, and draw upon the other resources provided by that service to enhance the learning outcomes, and the quality and benefits of each lesson.

The Value of Essential Video Support Tools...

If students and teachers are to receive the maximum benefits from the use of video in education, the video should be supported by a selection of other tools and resources that enable each topic to be fully investigated and explored. The use of online video should be supported by the use of an interactive word glossary, dictionary, thesaurus and an online encyclopaedia.

Access to lesson plans specially written to be used in conjunction with the video help not only to minimize lesson preparation time, but also help provide valuable additional learning activities and projects that further enhance the use of the video as an educational aid.

Choosing the Right Educational Video Provider...

There are a lot of websites now offering the use of what is claimed to be educational video. But video produced specifically for the teaching of the K-12 curriculum is in much shorter supply. There may be many videos available that initially appear to be excellent from a visual perspective, but often they have been produced originally for Television, or for use at conferences, but certainly not for teaching the requirements of State or National curriculum's, or with the needs of the classroom in mind. At the same time, many of the free educational video-sharing websites do not make it easy to select the right video without the teacher or parent spend countless hours sieving through video of only a general educational nature.

And then of course there is the most important issue of subtitles, or what is otherwise referred to as closed captions. Professionally subtitled video enables each child to effectively study the material in the video, and improve their Reading and Literacy skills simultaneously. At the same time, by including the option for the student to read the presentation, as well as either watching or listening to it ensures that video will cater for the greatest range of preferred learning styles. However at the current time the issue, and value of subtitling has been largely ignored because of the significant additional cost of providing it, and only one online video service makes this subtitling widely available on video that has been developed specifically for teaching curriculum topics.

Zane Education, with their comprehensive online video library of over 1,000 videos teaching 260 curriculum-aligned topics, is currently the online video service provider that has included subtitling with enlarged font sizes into their educational video catalogue.

With their average video being 12 minutes in length, and several videos on each topic often providing a total instruction time of over 60 minutes, their online video service also includes a significant online quiz testing facility for each topic, and a range of very beneficial study support services including free lesson plans for each topic, and additional interactive video study tools that enable the teacher and student alike to thoroughly explore each topic.

Zane welcomes and encourages feedback and additional ideas from teachers, schools, parents and students about the effective use of video in the classroom, and in education generally, in order to assist them in their commitment to a path of constant improvement.

What makes e-learning so exciting is that it allows learners to interact with the content through which they are acquiring knowledge. Long gone are the days when learners had to be subjected to an endless parade of slideshows, forcing them to digest content that wasn't presented properly in the first place. Now, there are different and enriching mediums through which you can offer the learning content.

Video-Based Learning is one such example of a creative and interactive instructional strategy. Videos are one of the foundational tools of e-learning. They improve learner performance by providing visual examples, allowing them to interact, explore and digest the content at their own pace. There are other benefits too. Let's look at seven such benefits interactive videos can bring to your online learning strategy.

1. Facilitate Thinking and Problem Solving

Using videos to communicate ideas and concepts make learning engaging and insightful. Look at it this way: a typical video consists of moving images, sound, and text. So when a learner is watching an interactive video, he is engaging in what you'd call multi-sensory learning, which literally means learning through two or more senses.

When learners use multiple senses to grasp the depth of a concept, it allows for more cognitive connections. This not only facilitates deep thinking and understanding of the concept from different perspectives, but they also acquire problem solving skills which are crucial for better work performance.

2. Demonstrate Procedures to Assist in Mastery Learning

Videos can be used to demonstrate procedures that can assist in mastery learning. If your e-learning material is procedural in nature, such as product training, then using videos would be the ideal way to present a string of procedures in a comprehensive way that can be referenced again and again. For example, videos are a great way to demonstrate case studies, clinical procedures or mechanical processes. They can also be used to reinforce information that has been previously explained in text.

3. Ideal for Visual Learners

We can all agree that everybody has a different learning style.

There are auditory learners who learn better through listening;

Kinesthetic learners who prefer doing an activity in order to learn; and then...

There are visual learners who better understand and retain information when ideas, words and concepts are associated with images and videos. These learners learn best through what they see, and videos - as you rightly guessed - are an ideal recipe for visual learning. You can experiment with how you want to present videos to your learners, but here are to make the most of them.

4. Animations to Communicate Abstract/Visual Concepts

Videos need not be composed of real images. You can use animations, such as white-board drawings, animated avatars, animated explainer videos - which are very modern and visually engaging for online learners - to make it work. Having animated videos of any kind can add style and beauty to your e-learning courses. There are a wide range of rapid authoring tools available in the market, but only a few of them have the inbuilt templates and features that allow you to "create" videos on-the-go.

However, there are standalone video editing tools that can help you create animated videos yourself! Videos produced from these tools can then be imported into rapid authoring tools like Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate. Here are some of the options you can consider:

5. Accessible on Multiple Devices

Videos could be made accessible on all devices with varying internet speeds if they are kept short and light. Multi-device delivery of videos enable learners to access the videos on a desktop or a laptop, at home or at the office, and through smartphones and other handhelds when they're travelling.

On a side note, if you have a blended learning strategy in place, you can reiterate the classroom training by offering them summaries through short, digestible videos via a Learning Management System.

6. Demonstrate 'How-to' and 'How-not-to' Effectively

Another small, yet significant, benefit of using videos is that they can be employed to illustrate how not to do something and then getting the learners to spot the mistakes. If time allow for it, you can follow up by showing them the correct way of completing the task.

This is extremely useful for salespeople when it comes to teaching them how to handle customer objections. You can show them a video playing out two scenarios:

1. A sales rep who doesn't apply the knowledge he's gained from training and consequently fails in his job

2. A sales rep who does apply what he has learnt on how to tackle a customer objection

7. Reduce Training Costs and Time

Today, you can have an interactive video-based learning course up and running in no time, without burning a hole in your pocket. I don't mean recording a live presentation and posting the fuzzy tape online for others to view. No. You can employ videos with engaging content created by industry professionals, according to your own business objectives.

Also, delivering videos is easier than ever. Everybody, in today's tech-dominated world, owns a Smartphone or a tablet. Videos can be distributed in short bursts to learners' devices without too much effort. This rapid delivery of videos allows your learners not only an "anytime anywhere" access, but also lets them learn at their own pace.
More and more organizations are adopting videos for their corporate training strategy. It's hardly surprising, especially considering how advanced video technology has evolved in the last couple of decades. Videos in e-learning do more than just provide an additional layer of instruction. They literally transform the way learners learn in the workplace. They create a richer experience for not just the learners, but for trainers too.

Classroom based learning has come a long way since I attended school. We were lucky enough to see the introduction of whiteboards and overhead projectors but it is nothing compared to what teachers have available at their fingertips today. They have the choices to make learning so much more fun, interactive and interesting that it must be so much easier to gain the students' attention and keep them involved throughout the lesson, not to mention the reduction in paperwork!

I am a person who learns well through discussion points, by being hands-on and by listening to others' points of view. School was difficult to really get a passion for because most of the time the lesson was based on reading from a blackboard or answering questions from a sheet of paper... often in silence. It is clear that in order to develop young minds we need to be stimulating their mindsets, getting them to think outside of the box and challenging why they see a certain situation in that way and why another classmate may see it in a different light. And this is where technology has really stepped up and helped this to happen.

So, what are the advantages to using video presentations within the classroom?

1. Enhanced learning experience

As I mentioned above, there is nothing worse than sitting in a quiet room and reading the work from a board. Video presentations reach out to a young person/child because they can relate to them. With the increased use of tablets, phones, game consoles and TV it is very natural these days for a student to look at a screen and retain the information provided. Yes, this may sound awful from the side of some experts who say that children need to reduce their screen time but in my eyes, in this day and age, we are all going to be using screens so much more now and in the future that I believe it is simply going to be the norm as technology develops even further. The area I am interested in is how video presentations can increase learning and better their education and this is the important factor. Being talked at does not always work in every topic but making an impact with a hard-hitting educational presentation can get the message across and make it seem like fun all at the same time.

2. Increased student motivation

The enjoyment of a class will have the positive knock-on effect of motivating them to learn. By being interactive, firing up a new passion and engaging with their ideas you will be helping them to find a new way of approaching the subject and hopefully getting them to want to learn.

3. Easy to access

Once you as the teacher has created your online video presentation you can feel rest-assured that your work will always be safe and accessible. With Presbee, your work is stored, it is simple to use or edit at any time and as long as you have wi-fi you can present it in your class whenever you need.

4. Student access

Online presentations can also have the function added to allow other people to view the work. If for example, a student has got slightly behind or has missed a class you could provide them with a student login which would let them watch your online video or alternatively you could provide a link via email for them to access. You could also upload it to a forum if you needed to keep your account secure. There are so many options and it is so simple to help a student if they are falling behind in your subject.

5. Long-distance learning

If your students learn on the internet or via textbooks at home you could still use video presentations to yours and their advantage. It would be very easy to do exactly what I have suggested above and allow a long-distance learner to access your video.

6. Create a website/blog for your students

Another option would be to create an accessible website or blog that your students could use whenever they needed and refer back to previous presentations. These would be beneficial to yourself too as you could provide the information for all future classes.

7. Encourage your students to create their own

You could also get your students involved in creating their very own presentation as part of a project or homework. This will help to re-iterate what you have told them in your lesson, work as a team or independently and to apply their own skills to the technology.

Do you have any other advantages that you have found to using online video presentations? Leave us a comment below.

Instructional media has an important role in teaching and learning process. This is because the use of effective media will affect student learning outcomes in a positive direction. In this modern era, there are many instructional media that can be used by teachers in teaching students in the classroom or outside the classroom.

One of the learning media that teachers can use is video. The use of video is increasingly popular today. a number of studies have been conducted to develop teaching techniques using video. In fact, @steemiteducation has also announced a new initiation in posting articles about using video in learning. So I am interested in writing this article about the benefits of using video as a medium of learning that can be applied by teachers in classroom.

A. The advantages of using videos
As I said above that the use of video provides certain benefits for teachers and students in the learning process. According to The University of Queensland the benefits of using creative videos in the learning and teaching process as mentioned below:

The use of creative video in education gives some pedagogical benefits such as facilitating thinking and problem solving, assisting with mastery learning, inspiring and engaging students, and authentic learning opportunity (The University of Queensland).

Meanwhile, according to some other sources such as also mentioned some benefits in referring with the above that the use of video basically provides positive benefits to the process and learning both for students and for teachers. Here I summarize some key benefits:

1. Save time in learning
Teaching by using conservative media will spend a lot of time when the teacher has to write on the board and then the students rewrite what the teacher has written. But different from using video. Teachers only need to show videos in the class then explain the learning outcomes. While students do not need to rewrite the material because they can directly copy the file or download the learning materials. So this will save time in teaching.

2. Make students easily receive what the teacher explains
While studying in class sometimes there are some students who have difficulty in accepting what the teacher convey. This could be due to several factors such as lack of experience in explaining the teacher's learning materials and due to lack of ability of students understanding in receiving messages conveyed by the teacher. From these problems, the use of video is very effective used in teaching to facilitate students understand the material being taught.

3. Motivate students in learning
Often in the use of old methods of teaching cause students to get bored in the classroom. They are reluctant to engage in study discussions and sometimes choose to go to the toilet or fall asleep in the classroom. This happens because the methods used are not effective and cause students to get bored. To handle such problems teachers need to make video as a learning medium that will motivate students to be actively involved in the learning process.
B. How to teach using videos

Image source

In order for the learning objectives to be achieved, then the use of video as a learning medium must be done effectively. Basically in teaching using video there are three steps that must be done by the teacher, that is previewing, viewing and post-viewing (Source).

Here I explain the three stages:

1. Previewing: this is the first stage before the teacher displays the video in the class. At this stage the teacher explains to the students the purpose of the lesson and explains a brief description of the video that will be displayed in the classroom. Through this stage the teacher can see students' interest in learning.

2. Viewing: This is the stage where the teacher displays the video to the students. at this stage the teacher may ask the student to do some things like ask the student to observe the video or record important things during the video playing.

3. Post-viewing: this is the stage after the video is ready to play. In this stage the teacher can ask students to do some tasks such as discussing the video, giving opinions on the video, or answering questions about the video.

For addition, I share you a video that you can use it in your classroom to teach your students about how to describe a person:

It is well known, that the 21st century student is constantly bombarded with digital imagery. Whether it is from television, social media, advertisers, or smart phones, the relentless visual stimulation that students face has some declaring it as detrimental to student development.

It is argued that with so much visual stimulation, it had become harder for students to keep their focus, hampering concentration, and hindering their ability to process information. Though this can be debated, it imperative that teachers take the necessary steps to combat these potential negative effects. This has forced teachers to recognize the importance of imagery and it's use in their classrooms.

It is important for students to be able to use images as a tool to advance their own knowledge and achievement. In this capacity, students are able to think abstractly about complex ideas and information, transforming the curriculum into more of a narrative they can absorb through creative imagery. There are several ways teachers can use images to extract the inherent creativity from their students, while simultaneously promoting deep thought, and honing their attention to detail.
5 Smart Ways To Use Digital Images In The Classroom

In many aspects of education, a student's true potential shines through when the subject is personal to them.

Teachers can tap into this in a variety of ways; such as having students create visual biographies that represent their lives. Students can find powerful images online or through social media, and compile them in a slide show that highlights their past, present, and future.

These images can symbolize important events, people, or places in their lives. They can also be representative of each student's personal goals, interests, and future aspirations. This will not only tap into the student's creative nature, but will also encourage them to think deeply about which images truly embody them, and their aspirations.

Slideshows can subsequently be presented to the class, giving classmates the opportunity to peek into the personalities of their peers. Students can comment on the images, draw similarities to their own lives, and build stronger class camaraderie.

This can be a fun and effective way for students to use imagery as a tool to express themselves, foster creativity, and learn about their classmates.

Visual biographies are not the only way to utilize images in the classroom. Pictures can also be used as a way to represent student understanding of material. Photo essays are an excellent way to accomplish this, and can be applied to any subject.

To achieve this, students can work in teams or independently compile digital images that pertain to a relevant topic. Captions can be added to each photo, explaining the photo's relation to the subject and giving insight into the student's thought process.

This can be a little tricky, as student interpretations are relative to their own personal understanding. Therefore, it is important for educators to use discretion when implementing this tactic, and make sure students make a clear relation between the image and the subject matter.

A prime example can be gathering images of a historical event, and comparing them to images of similar current events. Students can then draw similarities between past and present issues, and draw conclusions on how those issues can be prevented.

Another example is inviting students to utilize their phone cameras to document the step-by-step process of a science experiment. This will not only allow students to use the technology that is integrated in their lives, but also enable them to use it as a way that enhances their learning experience.

Teachers and students can get creative in how they wish to incorporate images. However, using images as a way to measure understanding not only taps into student ingenuity and resourcefulness, but also emphasizes quality in all facets of student work.

Through incorporating digital images in the class, teachers can encourage students to create narratives for particular pictures. Many students have taken exams or had homework assignments that display an image, and ask the students to write a story describing what is happening. This can be an excellent exercise that not only stimulates student imagination, but tests their focus and attention to detail.

Teachers may find a photograph online, display it in class, and invite students to create a narrative for the image. Ask students to identify certain details of the image, such as the setting, the characters, and what is happening. Have students discern the emotions of the characters based on their body language. Are they happy, concerned, upset? Why? Is there a conflict? What can be a resolution?

Students can brainstorm as a class or in groups, feeding off each other's inductive reasoning. Afterward, students can be instructed write a short reflection based on what they see in the image. This can be a useful exercise that empowers students to use inductive reasoning to tell a story. Each story can be different based on individual interpretation, which empowers students to freely exercise their originality and inductive skills without fearing failure or ridicule.

In today's society, it is vital that students are aware of what is happening in the world. Therefore, involving students in photojournalism can present a number of benefits, including an appreciation for the education you provide them!

In class, educators can use photos to inform students of current events and also invite them to do their own research on the images. By projecting an image in the class, teachers can provoke deep thought from students as they ponder the issues the image represents.

Teachers can encourage students to ask questions, write a reflection, or procure their own photos or political cartoons to present to the class as weekly assignment.

Photojournalism can be a very powerful way to engage students in deep and complex issues. It is also an effective way for students to communicate their own opinions, and encourages them to choose images that draw attention to issues that are important to them.

In any language arts course, images can be a useful tool for students to build on vocabulary and word association. By presenting a carefully selected group of images, teachers provide a tangible example of the words they are trying to teach. Furthermore, it makes it easier for student to remember new words, as they are automatically associated with the visual representation.

Educators can also experiment in exercises that allow students to draw vocabulary from images. One can present a selected group of images to the class, and allow students to work together to extract as many adjectives as they can out of the image.

This is a simple, but effective way to get kids thinking creatively about what they see in images. Educators may even transform the exercise into a game, assigning points to students who come up with the most creative descriptions or analogies.
Conclusion
In today's classrooms, teachers need every resource at their disposal to attract the attention of their students.

As students are being constantly visually stimulated, the use of imagery in the classroom can be a very useful and effective tool. Images allow students to tap in to their inherent creative nature, while promoting attention to detail, critical thinking, and resourcefulness. It also allows students to process deep and complex issues in abstract, and mentally stimulating ways. It makes sense that every classroom incorporate images in some way, as it is a very efficient method in advancing student learning and achievement.
