In today’s classroom, video is a critical tool not only for capturing attention and driving engagement but also for supporting a wide range of learners. This edWebinar explores how you can incorporate video content to enhance focus and participation, particularly for neurodiverse students and those with specific accessibility needs, supporting an inclusive learning experience. By integrating video, educators can provide visual, auditory, and contextual learning experiences to make lessons more inclusive, dynamic, and effective.
Join us to learn practical strategies and tools that ensure every student thrives in an engaging, supportive classroom environment. We discuss:
- The state of demand for video in the classroom with data from a survey of 500+ US K-12 educators
- Why it’s critical to engage learners of all learning styles, with a focus on how video can meet diverse needs
- How to support neurodiverse learners and meet accessibility requirements that benefit all students
- Three tactics for maximizing the impact of video for all learners
- How AI + video can assist with unique ways to approach lesson planning and personalize the learning journey
This recorded edWebinar is of interest to PreK-12 teachers, school leaders, district leaders, and education technology leaders.
