Video= Yea or Nea?

For or against using video in the classroom?

I would say that I am for the use of video in the classroom. We need to use a piece of every type of electronic media that we have available to us. Video like many means of electronic media is a secondary source to educate our students. We cannot simply pop in a video and let our students minds roam. Like all media that we use we must make them responsible to what they are watching. Videos should be used in conjunction with other electronic media such as internet searches, audio files, magazines, papers, computer programs, etc. When using video I think that less is more. The less we can use while still getting your point across would be more beneficial because you as the teacher could use other resources to enforce your over all educational goal. We still need to use all the resources available to us and video is still a viable resource and in my eyes I think that is should be used but not as a main source for educational content.
