Instructional Videos

Instead of live instruction, break your message into chunks of approximately 10 minutes of content each. Make the video interactive in that you provide direct instruction, then ask students to pause the video and answer a question or solve a problem, and then restart it for the answer and explanation.

Push and Pull Instructional.mp4

This is an example of an instructional video for first-grade students (Science-Gravity-Push It! Pull It!).

I used the How-To Create an Instructional Video resource from MyQPortal. Below is the completed version aligned with the sample video.

Instructional Video How To Example.pdf

This is an example of an instructional video for third-grade students (Engage Lesson from DiscoveryEd).

This is more of a directions video. I used screencast-o-matic to record the DiscoveryEd video as it was playing. I had already created the PowerPoint presentation to mimic a small-group discussion. I provided students with the directions for talking with one another. MSO teachers could use this format to engage students in small-group discussions in breakout rooms as he/she visits each room to provide feedback.

You could follow up the small-group activity with a whole-group discussion in which each group shares one "aha" and one thing they are still wondering!

Instructional Demo - Chasco VSC.mp4

This is an example of an instructional video for third-grade students (Module 5: Overcoming Obstacles).

You can use videos that have already been created, like those in Discovery Education or from PBS Kids. Consider sharing them through EdPuzzle. In EdPuzzle, you can pause the video, add in your own voice, ask questions, and more!

Use the Rubric to Assess an Instructional Video as you plan and/or to check your completed product.

Directions Videos

When students are working remotely, you can’t “swoop in” and offer guidance and redirection. You need to ensure that they know how to complete the assignments and activities you are offering, that they know how to navigate that new website you found. Create a screencast offering them directions.
