Students need a variety of ways to understand new ideas and concepts. As a teacher, I am always looking for ways to offer and provide instructional strategies that will increase engagement and motivation for my students. My students learn in their own unique and individualized ways. Each of my students think differently and this, need more than one opportunity to understand a 3rd grade standard. My current class is a social class who loves to discuss and share ideas. I believe peaking their interest at the start of a new concept. One way, is to show a quick, engaging, and educational video, for example Brainpop videos are a perfect way to peak students interest and get them thinking and even better asking questions about the new topic. These questions and ideas can then be recorded on a chart and used throughout the week as a reference for my class to further deepen their educational experience.
