Why I chose this video and it's purpose:As I browsed the many useful videos that describe what makes teachers effective, I really liked the underlined message in this video. As the video explains, the most highly thought of teachers don't necessarily have to have outgoing personalities, a master's degree or even tons of teaching experience. The most important aspect of teaching should be focused on each individual student. A teacher that can focus on that is truly what I would like to call a great teacher. That is exactly what this video shows. I really liked that you can also hear from the students point of view, and their parents. It's important to know how effective you are as a teacher when it comes from your students.
I didn't even know before I started searching through YouTube that they had a specific site for teachers. Now being aware of this site, there are many short videos that can be shown in class to help engage students with lessons. I came across a lot of great multiplication videos that show the patterns of repeated addition and it's great to see the video for those visual learners. Students will always be engaged with a video, so why not teach from a video to gain the students interests!?
The YouTube video that I have posted below is a short clip from ABCNews that show two different teacher's effective tools of being a great teacher.
