Using Video to Build Background

Monday, April 9th, 2007

In this month’s AVReading.org, we will read about how to use video clips to build background information before reading. With the use of YouTube, and now Mediathatmatters, we can get away from watching full length films and using a media form that in many ways can be much more precise to what you want to preview and definitely more efficient. Meidathatmatters, as opposed to YouTube, are video clips made by students, but they are class projects on the very same topics that you are studying. YouTube is simply downloaded video of just about everything. Check them out.
