Sometimes a video will teach a child much more simply that I could. During a conversation I was having with my class, the topic of tsunamis came up. The kids had no idea what they were or how they were made. A short video was able to illustrate far more effectively than I could.

I also use videos in my class to introduce topics. If I can begin a lesson with a funny video or something that will SET the mood in the class, I always have a better outcome. For instance, this teacher has some really silly stuff that the kids get a kick out of and also teaches short reference points that kids can remember easily through rhyme.
