But if you\u2019ve ever tried to get 25 third graders to use a video editing software platform that they\u2019ve never seen before, it can get really frustrating really fast. It\u2019s easy for the lesson to become entirely centered around how to use the software without any subject-area content learning.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Through years of trial and error with K\u20136 students, I\u2019ve developed three guiding concepts for elementary video projects so that teachers and students have a good experience.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thebrokencopier.substack.com\/p\/supporting-students-as-they-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Supporting Students As They Work Independently<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from by Marcus Luther and The Broken Copier<br \/>\n<em>4 tools that have helped me improve &#8220;independent work time&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thebrokencopier.substack.com\/p\/supporting-students-as-they-work\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/substackcdn.com\/image\/fetch\/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep\/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe846d186-8dbd-485b-b14c-8d30a13d4daf_1970x1144.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.edutopia.org\/article\/movement-based-games-improve-spelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Movement-Based Games That Help Students With Spelling<\/strong><\/a> &#8212; from edutopia.org by Jocelyn Greene<br \/>\n<em>Games that combine spelling with physical activity can make it easier for young students to learn new words.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Like actors, students are often tasked with memorization. Although education has evolved to incorporate project-based learning and\u00a0guided play, there\u2019s no getting around the necessity of knowing the multiplication tables, capital cities, and correct spelling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">The following are movement-based games that build students\u2019 abilities to retain spelling words specifically. Ideally, these exercises support them academically as well as socially. Research shows that learning through play\u00a0promotes listening, focus, empathy, and self-awareness\u2014benefits that build students\u2019 social and emotional learning skills.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.prnewswire.com\/news-releases\/quizlet-survey-reveals-students-crave-life-skills-education-302100754.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Quizlet Survey Reveals Students Crave Life Skills Education<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0&#8212; from prnewswire.com by Quizlet; via GSV<\/p>\n<p class=\"prntal\">The survey&#8217;s key findings included:<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li><b>Financial and life skills uncertainty<\/b>: One-third of recent graduates don&#8217;t believe they have or are unsure they have the financial and core life skills needed to succeed in the world.<\/li>\n<li><b>Appetite for non-academic courses<\/b>: 68% of recent graduates think non-academically focused courses in formal education settings would better prepare students for the real world.
