Videos in the Classroom

Love 'em, use 'em!

I love using videos in the classroom. In my Video list I linked to a video I'm sure all Spanish teachers are familiar with: Cry Me A Verb. This teacher has created several videos about conjugating regular, irregular, reflexive, etc. verbs in Spanish. He does it in such a funny way and sings to the tunes of popular Justin Timberlake songs.

I showed these to serve as review for a Level 2 spanish class and I also showed them just after I introduced how to conjugate regular verbs in Spanish 1. They're so cheesy, they're funny and not only did the students love them and laugh, but they couldn't stop singing the songs!

Videos and/or video clips are a quick, easy, and attention-grabbing way to enhance and teach course content.
