Are you tired of the same old, BORING educational videos? Then welcome to The ELA Connection! Here, I strive to make engaging content about our favorite subject: English Language Arts.
I have been teaching seventh grade English for over a decade. During the pandemic, I started making fun, educational videos for my own students and then said to myself, "Self, I wonder if anyone else could benefit from these?"
So how do you use these in your own classroom? Chunk them! Rarely would I ever recommend playing the whole video end to end without any feedback from your students. You may want to do a quick check to make sure their notes are filled in or a comprehension question over what they just heard. Many of my videos can be found on the platform EdPuzzle where questions are already embedded throughout the video. I hope that you will find just what you need!
Have a suggestion for a future video? Let me know!
