Quick Tips:
Students should be both Active and Reactive viewers
Active viewing--take notes and respond to questions
Reactive viewing--think critically. Have students give arguments vs. answers (Common Sense Education)

Show & Tell: Show a video and let students tell you their responses/reflections
Tell & Show: The viewer tells the teacher what he/she thinks based on a prompt. The viewer can then determine whether their answer is accurate/justified as the video is shown.
