ED 4123- Assignment 2 - History Video Clips

click on picture to start game.

Video clips are a great tool in assisting with learning for a history student. They attend to the spatial and linguistic intelligence of the students (Bochner, Duchesne and Krause, 2003, p 201.) If presented in context to the topic, the clip can enhance a students understanding of the events or personality (Gardiner, 2003 p 10). The clip should be selected not just for its instructional value (although this is paramount) but for its ability to grab the students attention. I have chosen this clip on Ancient Greece because it is informative, fast, with modern graphics (anima) and seems to approach the topic on a level that the target audience would relate to.
