Interactive video

Video resources such as Clickview and YouTube are very useful in the classroom. You can increase this utility by making these videos interactive, so that the video will pause at places of your choosing and display a question or a piece of information to highlight an important point. It is also possible to create a clipping of just the specific part of the video that you want students to watch. This could be useful for videos displayed to the whole class as well as videos set for individual students via Google Classroom.

Go to Google Classroom, create an Activity and select YouTube to start adding questions to a YouTube clip.

Clickview also has tools that enable you to see if students have actually watched the video or have skipped sections. It can also collate student answers and show the answers that students give to the questions that you have posed.

When using YouTube, I highly recommend that an ad blocker is used. On DoE computers with Google Chrome, uBlock Origin is able to be installed on a per user basis.

Please let me know through the Suggestion Box if you need more information about interactive videos in Clickview and/or YouTube and I will create some simple guides that may be useful.

Here is a short example of YouTube interactivity that I created, based on the YouTube clip "Yass High teachers do the Ice Bucket Challenge" from a few years ago.
