This lesson is about creating a summary. The video provides a short story and then it provides an example on how to summarize it. I liked this video because it had animation for children.
I had never heard of TED-Ed until
this week. It was interesting to find videos on Youtube about my final project.
For my final project, I chose to focus on summarizing because the students
always have a hard time with this skill when they take the state test. My
project is about teaching students to summarize and I was very impressed that I
found a kid-friendly video on demonstrating this skill. I thought TED-Ed will
be an amazing tool to use. There are many ways in which TED-Ed can be used in
the classroom.
The first
idea for using TED-Ed will be for students in the 4th grade for a
Science lesson. In this case I would have my students find a video about the
topic for their science project. I would then have them ask questions in the
Think section, include resources in the Dig Deeper section, and create some
discussion questions that the other students can answer. Another lesson for
this same grade level and subject would be for students to look for videos on
certain experiments made at the end of the unit. The students would be placed
in groups and they would have to do an experiment. They would then find a video
related to their experiment.
The second idea
that I have for using TED-Ed would be to teach my students about a certain
topic. In this case I would use it for a 2nd grade Language Arts
lesson. I would show the videos to my students as a whole group and have them
answer the questions. I would also divide them into groups and have them create
a discussion question that the rest of the groups can answer.
My third
idea would be for a 3rd grade Math lesson. For this lesson, I would
give each student a math problem that they would have to solve. I would have
them solve the problem and find a video where the problem is being solved too.
I would then have them find other resources so that the rest of the students
could see the options.
These are
just some of the ways in which we can use TED-Ed with our students. This is a great resource that can be used to
teach or for students to show their learning. This would be something familiar
for them because students usually already know how to look search for videos on
Youtube.
Hi Claudia, your project is very good. The way students can use a video to make the connections they need to the project is very good. This will allow students to understand better the project. The use of this tool can help find different videos related to your project. This can lead to group discussions for peer feedback.
ReplyDeleteHello Claudia,
ReplyDeleteSadly the state STAAR exam is a necessary evil in our profession, so we must find ways to support our students to pass this test. Your idea to have your students complete lessons on TedEd to summarize their readings is an excellent way to support your students as it not only develops key skills needed for success in the Language Arts content area but also allows students to do so in an engaging manner. Excellent idea!
Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your video project and I'm happy that you have the opportunity to learn about TedEd videos and that you have shared with us some great ideas on how you would include videos in the different subjects with your students. Thank you for your ideas.
Hi Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI really like the idea of using TedEd to have students look for different ways to solve mathematical problems. I like that they can create questions they have and other groups in the class can answer them. I think this is an awesome way to engage learners that normally are aversive to math in general.

Hello Claudia,
ReplyDeleteI like your ideas for students to do using TED lesson videos. I think that your students will enjoy your lesson, especially the one about solving a math problem because they can teach the class how solve the problem and provide their classmates with extra resources on math. I agree with you about how TED Ed is an amazing tool for education.
