\u201cRather than trying to simplify information, amplifying the curriculum means finding as many ways as possible to make key information comprehensible.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to an article<\/a> in Edutopia, there are many ways to use video to enhance instruction. Video can be used to help build background knowledge, enhance curriculum, and solidify students’ understanding of concepts. It is a balancing act to find the perfect tool to engage students while keeping learning meaningful. Often, a video or video clip is just the right medium. <\/p>\n

ActivInspire<\/a> is Promethean’s <\/a>powerful, interactive lesson delivery software, and adding videos directly to your ActivInspire flipchart enhances instructional time. Using ActivInspire to present content in the classroom helps you bring lessons to life and adding video can be the key for some students to gain comprehension.<\/p>\n
