Communication Problems



What do you think is the problem? Hasn't the message been clear enough?

This video makes me think that we have to be careful when selecting videos for our classes. Even when we thnik the content is very clear, it is possible that the message is not received correctly by the students. That is why an introductory activity is important to make them focus on the relevant features. As we have learned, www.youtube.com is an outstanding source to find videos for our classes, but always keep in mind there should always be a purpose for showing one. Always prepare an introductory activity, a main activity focused on an objective and a follow up activity to assess on comprehension. Good luck!
