 The knowledge and experience of a teacher is incredibly valuable. By creating a simple video, that knowledge can go on to inspire new teachers now and into the future. There are three keys to making a powerful video. Capture interest, make it memorable, and have a clear message. First, capture the interest of the viewers and keep it until the end. This is accomplished by being clear about the purpose of the lesson. Begin by stating what you will share in a clear, direct manner. In this activity, we're going to play a body part rhyming game using silly words and or nonsense words. I'm going to talk about how I teach young children how to look at art. I'm going to teach you how to build a terrarium for your classroom today. Present any materials you will use. If someone may have trouble finding similar materials, suggest some common substitutes, such as using beans to teach math instead of plastic counters. Then I have the children count with me as we put beans into the cups. Use simple language. Use basic common terms to explain your lesson. Consider the audience may not have a formal background or training in education. Check background noise. Pay attention to any background noise where you are recording. If you cannot control the background noise, consider a different location. Control sound quality. Recording in a small room can help reduce echo. Using an external mic can also improve sound quality, but it's not necessary so long as the audio is clear and easy to understand. The five senses are taste, see, hear, smile, and touch. Second, make it memorable. Have no more than three points. For maximum comprehension, keep the focus on one main point if possible and no more than three points to remember. One classroom management tool I use is one called Hands Up. If I need the student's attention, I'll say, Hands Up, and they all put their hands up. And a good way to help them kind of relax is hands up, take a deep breath, let it out, hands down. Then they're ready to listen to the important things that I have to say. Repeat your key points often. Repetition is an effective way to help with memory. Consider showing a few examples of your activity rather than just one. Keep the video short. People are short on time and low on attention span, so try to keep the video length between one and three minutes. Finally, have a clear message. The viewer should know right away what the lesson is about and how it will help their students. They should also feel that they could try it out right away. Remember, just be yourself. If you present your teaching ideas with clarity and sincerity, others will be inspired to use it too. Follow these tips and you'll create a captivating, memorable, and clear video to share with teachers around the world. Remember, the three keys to making a powerful video are to capture interest, make it memorable, and have a clear message.
