Personally, I think that a presentation (it is not a lesson) like the one that I watched may do more arm than good, if watched by the students. Watching someone presenting a topic in front of a camera does not necessarily mean students may benefit from it.... au contraire... I strongly believe the activities are more effective than watching... Is it possible that learning-by-doing is become out of fashion?...

There are two video collections that follow this style of presentation - this and the videos of PAJ Holden. My students loved them both. I used to use this to validate my teaching (!) and to summarise what I had taught. For some reason my students believed me more if another person said the same thing - I don't know why! My students wanted me to do the same thing.

i watched the videos great in content theoretically fantastic.Personally i showed the videos to my student some of them fall sleep in the class. They complained there is very less dynamism boring if watch more. They like me more to work on board and drawing the graph and diagram from a scratch. What you think as a teacher we should still show these lectures in the class?

Bipin... but if THEY say it is boring, you should challenge them and say "well if it is boring, then you should shoot a video for sleeping-prone students, something exciting... [ehy! rated PG of course], but still, something to catch the attention with examples, a story,...etc...

Hi Bipin....I understand your experience...it's happened with me once or twice...I guess it is because of the difference between the knowledge base between the teacher and the students. We need to come down to their level and think what might interest them...I know its difficult though.

I like using videos if it can supplement my teaching. Clips seem to work well. I've never seen her before however. Love the double entendre though! :)
