This week in EdTech, we discussed some ways that audio and visual media can be used for educational purposes. Recently, I have had the chance to observe a few different ways that videos can enhance learning experiences. Since transitioning to online schooling, some of my professors have opted to record video lectures and post them on our class websites so that we can view the material asynchronously. I appreciate that this is available to me so that it decreases my overall sense of ‘zoom fatigue’. Also, in my school observation sessions in a grade 2/3 classroom, I have noticed that the teacher uses snack time as an opportunity to display read along story books on the projector, so that the students can have additional  practice reading. The students take turns choosing the stories and really enjoy having this as part of their school routine.
