Last week I went to a great PD evening, where we watched and rated short videos. The guidelines for video selection were:
- 3 minutes or less
- should have educational application
- fewer that have seen it the better
And generally the videos fell into a category of : inspiring, fascinating, jaw dropping, courageous, beautiful, informative, funny.
I thought it be interesting to try this in our class. So here we go!
Today's Theme: Inspiring- Words of Advice
We are going to watch both videos as a class. Once the video is done, you are going to add your thoughts to the comment space below. Which video did you find more inspiring? Why? What are your words of advice?
