60 Second Recap: Valuable Video Resource for ALL Students of Literature |

60 Second Recap: Valuable Video Resource for ALL Students of Literature | | Leadership Think Tank | Scoop.it

"If you are a student or teacher of literature, and you aren’t already familiar with this resource, you owe it to yourself to check it out. For effective learning to occur in any classroom, it’s essential that information be presented in multiple formats. It’s just as important to offer a range of options for engagement. This site helps beautifully on both counts.

60 Second Recap is a web based resource, and an iOS app, that uses short video clips to introduce great literature in a manner that I suspect most learners find highly engaging. Each clip is well researched and skilfully written. Production quality is exceptional. The target audience may be high school students, but these videos completely engage this learner, and I haven’t been a high school student for more than 40 years!"

International Migration

Tony Hall's curator insight, April 8, 7:57 PM

Really nice video that discusses international migration with really good visuals to illustrate the concepts and data.

Catherine Smyth's curator insight, April 8, 8:51 PM

The topic, "Australia as a nation" in the new Australian curriculum:history provides the opportunity for Year 5/6 students to learn about the significance of migration in Australia. This video explores the big ideas about migration.

Although some of the video is more relevant for secondary students, parts of it could be used in the primary classroom. It provides good background information about the topic and includes graphs and statistics through which primary teachers can address numeracy outcomes.

Marshall Shogun Dore's curator insight, May 5, 8:35 AM

This is a good video focusing on international migration. It highlights important factors and issues surrounding migration and the common misconceptions that go along with it.
