Video Clips

Video Clips is an effective learning tool in an ICT learning environment. It caters for both the visual and auditory learners and the linguistic, interpersonal, intrapersonal intelligences. Visual learners absorb information from visual displays, auditory learners absorb information through listening, they learn best through sound. Linguistic intelligences are able to learn well through words and language. Video clips assist in engaging students. It helps in enhancing a students learning by making the students become interested in what they are learning. Video clips also assist in constructing knowledge. By having discussions, students are building a greater sense of knowledge. A teacher could guide student's by asking student's relevant questions about the video. Videos may also spark emotions, this allows students to retain information more likely in the long term. E.g A humourous video in mathematics may assist in recalling information. Video clips are good cognitive tools, students are likely to think more broadly through video clips than through words. Video clips usually have an underlying message that is conveyed to the audience. This message may promote a higher order of thinking in a student.
