**__Ways to Use Video in the Classroom__**

 * Students can download short video clips to include in multimedia projects, such as PowerPoint presentations.
 * The digital video library can be used for research at classroom stations. With student accounts, school computers can be used as digital video and image encyclopedias for students to go to for their research, investigations, problem solving, information gathering, etc. With teacher collaboration and guidance, this can be considered part of an online learning experience.
 * Divide your class into learning stations. In small groups, have students rotate through your stations in timed intervals. Use a short video clip at one or several of the stations.
 * With student accounts, videos and the image/clip art library can be used as resources for students to access from the media center in addition to the classroom.
 * Teachers can recommend videos for students to watch at home for additional enrichment to classroom lessons by using the Assignment Builder tool.
 * Use the extensive image and clip art libraries in addition to the digital video--Images can be downloaded for use in student reports, lesson materials, and even classroom PowerPoint presentations.
 * When more than one student is watching video content at the same time-try **headphones** for less distraction.
 * The **Professional Development and Instructional Methodology** videos can be used for staff development.
 * Teachers can work short content clips into their daily instruction to reinforce text based material and increase student engagement. **Research shows that using short video clips tied directly to a teaching concept makes this very effective.**
 * Short video or audio clips can be used to start a lesson or introduce a new unit.
