Video & Multimedia
Video lets a student pause, rewind, and learn at their own pace — and lets you teach a concept once instead of five times. Used well, it frees you to spend class time helping, not lecturing.
Start small
Your first video doesn't need editing or a studio. A two-minute screen recording of you working a problem, shared as a link, already helps absent students and families.
What you'll learn
- Record your screen and voice to reteach or flip a lesson
- Turn any video into an interactive, checkable activity
- Let students demonstrate learning by creating media, not just watching it
- Keep videos short, accessible (captioned), and easy to share
Three ways teachers use video
| Use | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Reteach / absent students | A recorded explanation students can replay anytime — no re-lecturing. |
| Flipped lesson | Students watch the intro at home; class time is for practice and help. |
| Student creation | Making a video to explain something is deep learning in disguise. |

Always caption
Add captions to anything you post (YouTube and most tools auto-generate them — just fix the errors). It helps deaf and hard-of-hearing students, English learners, and anyone watching with the sound off. See Captions & translation.
