Video Lesson

  I found this video on TeacherTube. I used it this week for my Intro to Biz class. We have been discussing the pros and cons of credit, credit pitfalls, consumer protection laws, etc. Although we reviewed about 7-10 videos for a Public Service Announcement the students are creating, most students found this one most dramatic.

Credit explained with water.

The thing I really like about video is the emotional impact that can be transmitted through vocal inflection and body language. This cannot be done through any other medium. This practice coincides with a marvelous book I am reading: The Heart of Change, by John Kotter. Kotter's approach to change is "See, Feel, Change," as opposed to other approaches that teach "Analysis, Think, Change."
