I ask that you please keep that perspective that in mind when you swear at the screen upon opening another video of a dude whose air conditioner is louder than he is. Video ubiquity is the only way you’ll ever find the good stuff.

They believe in their craft, they have the courage to invest their time and emotions into it, and they even understand how to work a camera microphone. I withhold my apology because I realize that such accessibility to all the nonsense is the very force that brings you closer to the content creators who are doing it right. I really do want you to find me and use me well, but your job becomes harder when you have to wade through all that malarkey. I was going to apologize for the ocean of blithering, useless, video drivel that pollutes the content landscape. I was about to apologize to you, teachers. Trying to get out of taking a test because you missed class due to the theater commitment you chose to take on? Sorry friend – it’s time to get your click on.Īnd finally, a confession. Home sick and couldn’t come to class? No problem, because now you have me as your teacher at home, so that you can come to class the next day without excuses and on schedule. What I like most about releasing the information bottleneck is that it reveals students’ true character. The ball’s in your court now young friend, both scholastically and on the hardwood. To the basketball player leaving class early for a game, now you don’t need your teacher to remain caught up. Video to the rescue! Oh my, I share in the deep satisfaction you feel when you populated your learning management system with me, to serve as additional resources to the curricula you create. Combine all those kids with the students who get ill, and you’re dealing with a massive bottleneck that fits directly over your collared business-professional teacher-type button down shirt. Don’t you just loathe when students must miss class for all the extra stuff they take on? It’s hard for me to imagine life outside the comfort of my circuit board, but these kids are actors, athletes, community leaders, and even have the audacity to take part in school-sanctioned field trips. Let’s shift to a high-five moment between us. If you’re a teacher who hasn’t flipped your class, a reality check: I’m best served as your pedagogical side dish, not your entrée. However I do detect some resent from your students who post comments below me, lamenting how you’re not really doing your job. I suppose I don’t mind doing all your heavy lifting for you, considering how I’m just a digital entity, oblivious of the human experience. If the class goes well, you then think to yourself, “Hmmm, I could do this again.” And left unchecked, eventually I’m doing your job for you. If you find a candidate, you vet, by clicking me and then rapidly clicking through me chunk-by-chunk, verifying that the video generally accomplishes what you need it to. You do a keyword search, and scroll through thumbnails, glancing at the video’s duration, number of views and if the title and description generally match what you’re looking for. It’s 7:53 a.m., and you’re at your desk, not really knowing how you’re going to format the lesson that’ll begin in seven minutes. I’ve even seen the author of this article doing the following. Much of the time, teachers search for me simply when they’re in a pinch. But bear in mind, all the high goals, the mission statements and the visions for these incredible learning systems only manifest sometimes. Here’s what I see.ĭon’t get me wrong of course I believe that video is revolutionizing education. You may think that you’re only watching me, but oh no, I see you too. But what you don’t know is how the world looks like from my particular vantage point. You probably know that so much has been written about me - how I’m changing the face of education, how I’m revolutionizing the way students learn, yadda yadda.
