1. To introduce a topic in an interesting way.
2. To help visual learners to understand a topic.
3. As an option for a book report or other project rather than a paper.
4. Have kids create a video in a group to illustrate a topic.
5. Kids love youtube, have them find a video and share with the class how it relates to what you are learning.
6. Videos are a good way to illustrate experiments and things that cannot just be described.
7. Having kids edit videos is a great skill for kids to learn.
8. Relating movies kids know to your lesson is a great way to get them excited about it!
