Is it okay to use musical videos in the classroom to help students learn? why or why not?

I think that using musical videos in the classroom are great. I am observing a third grade class this semester and the teacher uses musical videos and they seem to help to keep the students engaged and help them to learn the material faster!

I believe that it is okay to use music videos in classrooms as long as the content from the video relates to what the students are learning.

Music is great to incorporate into the classroom. Sometimes catchy musical videos help students understand a subject better than just hearing it spoke. A catchy tune can stick with you and make them actually learn the material rather than just memorizing it. This is a musical video over the states and capitals. I think this video is awesome!

Songs can definitely help a student memorize a lesson in any topic. There are songs that help memorize the electromagnetic spectrum, the 50 states, and I remember the order of the planets by song. Let's not forget the alphabet song!

Here is a great example of how musical videos can help students learn. This particular video teaches students about the alphabet and individual letters. I think a lot of younger students especially probably learn well from hearing information through song. Information is probably a lot easier for them to remember that way, especially if their parents have already introduced them to music and singing.

yes

Here is a video that can help PreK or Kindergarten students learn how to count from 1 to 10. I think that musical videos are a great way to learn because they encourage the students to sing along or learn the words.

Yes!

I am observing in a classroom and the teacher uses rhymes, cheers, raps, songs to help them memorize everything! They LOVE IT!

Using music in classrooms to help students learn is a brilliant tool. It's an easy way to help memorize something. Notice the ABC song is sung. It helps us to memorize things. Also, just look at Miley in the Bone Dance song. Music helps her.

Yes!

I think that if you can incorporate learning videos into your lesson, you definitely should! Especially if the tune is catchy and easy to remember, this will help students to picture what you are talking about and memorize the material.

I think using musical videos in the classroom is good because it keeps the students involved, it helps them have fun, and it helps them memorize better.
