This is very similar to the video that my previous job created and utilized to inform our students about the coronavirus. Working at a child care center, when all in person learning became remote, our team had to brainstorm on how to keep students engaged and learn about what was happening around them. Our wonderful Puppetry instructor, Andy Gaukel, created a puppetry video to showcase to our students. A link is provided below:

I loved this video! They did such a good job with the voices and animations. It was a great touch to add other places in the world instead of only focusing on America.

This video was very informative while being creative and entertaining. Children will especially gravitate towards this because of the cartoons and animations. While learning all about viruses students also learn important vocabulary like bacterium, cell, and DNA. I even learned about the memory cell, something that I wasn’t aware of.

I believe that with schools opening up educators have to address the concept and the consequences of covid (different based on school level). This video provides a basic information teachers can use and incorporate into a science lesson plan.

Aimee Grace E Aimee Grace E (Sep 24 2020 2:11AM) : Good example of living vs. non living. I really enjoy the explanation of why the bacteria is non living and what component is needed to be considered living creature. more

This is a very good video to show to your children. This can be used too to go further and discussed different type of illness or diseases we get affected and such. It is a good foundation video.

Aimee Grace E Aimee Grace E (Sep 24 2020 9:15AM) : Not only did the video explained how bacteria causes viruses and makes us sick, it also took time to give fact and question the students. This was not only fun but it also made students to critically think.

Juanita M Juanita M (Aug 13 2020 4:54PM) : It is important for educators to incorporate different types of learning styles in their teachings. Each student is unique and thus learn differently. You can’t have a one size fits all curriculum and except all of them to understand. more

There are many benefits to using visuals as a tool to educate your students. A few of these benefits are it helps some students store information longer, it aids in better comprehension and it drives motivation. I remember plenty of times when I was younger the teacher would wheel in the t.v (they don’t do that anymore) and we all would become so excited about whatever it is that we were going to be watching.

Yes Juanita! I agree with your comments on how beneficial visuals can be as instructional tools when teaching various content. Visuals help students with different learning styles gain knowledge through the outlet they learn best through which in this case could be visually or auditory.

Another outlet to teach about viruses and germs and the importance of hygiene could be through hands-on demonstrations such as seen in the youtube link I provided below:

Emmie S Emmie S (Aug 14 2020 9:12PM) : This video shows a very important part of teaching young children, it is focusing on things that children would be excited about such as cartoons. Something such as a virus would not be something easy to simply explain to children. more

The visuals allow for a different mode for learning for young children that by simply reading a story or explaining to them will have. Young children learn and pick up a lot of information from videos that capture attention making different modes important.

Aimee Grace E Aimee Grace E (Sep 24 2020 2:19AM) : Yes this is very true Emmie. It also makes me think about the different article i have been reading here and it kept on emphasizing the importance of using different platform or tools to have students engage in their learning. more

Like said many children love cartoon and using this will easily capture their mind and easier for them to remember and share what they got from the video. Same should also be applied for students in higher grade level. Their interest should be pinpointed and used to not only engage them but also motivate and have them participate in their learning. I believe children feel empower when they feel they are involved and responsible for their education too.
