Description
During distance learning we all learned the importance of video for meaningful teaching and learning.  A good video can teach and even inspire.  A bad video . . .  well we’ve all seen our share of those too. Today on the podcast we welcome special guest Dan Speed, who is not only doing great things with video in his classroom, but his students are, as well.
Lessons Learned
Chris -

* The pleasures of kahoot

Fun Fact
Cisco had already estimated that, by next year, a staggering 82% (https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/solutions/collateral/executive-perspectives/annual-internet-report/white-paper-c11-741490.html) of all created content will be video. But the pandemic has accelerated an already ravenous appetite for video content. The average U.S. consumer now pays for four (https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/technology/digital-media-trends-consumption-habits-survey/summary.html) different streaming video subscriptions. Nearly one-quarter of U.S. consumers (23% (https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/insights/industry/technology/digital-media-trends-consumption-habits-survey/summary.html)) have added at least one new paid streaming video service since the pandemic began. https://www.forbes.com/sites/falonfatemi/2021/02/01/how-the-pandemic-has-changed-video-content-and-consumption/?sh=6a2f94d6ec00 (https://www.forbes.com/sites/falonfatemi/2021/02/01/how-the-pandemic-has-changed-video-content-and-consumption/?sh=6a2f94d6ec00)

 
Notes & Links
Video is more than just sharing information, it can connect on an emotional level as well.  In school that’s important for moving that info into long term memory (retention).
