My Student Teaching Experience

I TAUGHT BIBLE CLASS TODAY

Video I showed in Bible class that illustrates how the atmosphere is water.

SUMMARY
I taught the Bible class today.  I followed the same basic structure that Mr. Pacer uses when he teaches Bible so the students wouldn't get confused.  I reinforced the previous Bible lesson and asked anticipatory questions about the lesson they were about to have before I began.  I read a story to them and then showed them a video.  The story was about God creating air (atmosphere) the second day of creation.  The Bible mentions that the air is full of water (vapor).  I thought this would be a hard concept for the students to grasp so I found a cool video that illustrated how the air is water, not just gasses.  I had way too much planned for the 30 minute block so I didn't get to do everything I wanted to.  To wrap up the lesson, I discussed with the students that having Jesus in your heart is just as important as having air to breath.  I handed out a piece of paper with fold lines printed on it. I asked the students to write on each fold line one word that describes how they feel to have Jesus in their heart.  I also asked them to color it and then fold it like a fan.  I told them to think of Jesus every time they feel the air from their fan.

INSIGHT
I LOVE INCORPORATING VIDEO'S in my lesson plans.  Maybe it is because I am such a visual learner myself, but I just don't believe I could ever paint a picture in my students head better than a video or a demonstration can.  The internet is such a vast resource of high quality and credible material for students.  I only use video when it takes the experience of the lesson up a notch.  I like to bring the material to life with video.

QUESTION
I would like to incorporate video in every subject as often as I have time to.  Is this too much video?
