Choose content that directly connects to your lesson. Media is an effective way to demonstrate new concepts and to reinforce learning.

Ask students to discuss what they see and hear. Students pick up on different things so discuss media resources as a group to clarify information.

Use critical thinking skills to evaluate media and help students understand concepts. Be sure to provide multimodal learning opportunities.

Provide opportunities for hands-on learning and real-world application to help students make new connections in their own lives and communities.
