This is a video from you tube about the Solar Systems and how significant in size of each planet. When viewing this video, I was shocked that there are other planets that is bigger than the sun. I consider this video as a learning tool and an engagement tool. There are many videos from YouTube, and some are really good to use as another digital tool for the classroom.
Students can choose from an array of videos about the Solar System that would fit into their report or task that would enhance their knowledge of learning. Learning Managers can also use this type of video not as a science lesson, but as a maths lesson or cross into other KLA's.
I would use videos in the classroom as the students would be more engaged and involved by looking and hearing the information as long as it was relevant to the topic. Looking at TeacherTube is another resource for Learning Managers, as this is more educational and more student friendly in its content.
Go to YouTube and search videos for your lesson.
