Caroline Farkas recently shared six ways to supplement a preset curriculum with video. One of her top tips? Personalize the curriculum to your students' interest. The easiest way to do this is with video. Every year, Caroline incorporates student interests into her lessons--from slime to baseball--keeping students focused and engaged. This approach also allows her to provide additional resources for students who are ahead of the material or in need of a refresher.

"...the research shows that you can learn just as much from video as you can from reading, which is amazing. But the best form of teaching is still that 1:1 in person back and forth, because....a lot of times the only reason the student is listening is they have a relationship with the teacher. They respect the teacher, but we remember anything because of repetition." Mr. Beat The educator-student relationship is the cornerstone of education. But videos are a powerful tool to support educators and enhance learning by providing direct education, reinforcing topics, helping to provide perspective, and presenting information in multiple ways to help improve retention. At Boclips, our goal is to make learning engaging and empower educators with safe, ad-free, distraction-free educational videos through Boclips Classroom. #educationalvideos #digitallearning #edtech #k12 #teachers

“Once we had David Attenborough, we were motoring!” David Bainbridge has had first experience of the power of brands in EdTech. Success in the world of education is often about identifying a route to market and signing up the right partners. Boclips is a great example of this. After spotting the potential for short form video to engage learners back in 2012, David refocused his audacious vision for a direct to consumer proposition and instead solved a pain point for existing educational providers. He also leverage the power of big brands like the BBC and The Wallstreet Journal to sign up Pearson and created the social proof for others to follow. They now have over 650 content providers supplying videos to enrich courseware. Along the way, they rode the boom and bust of the pandemic and are now finding new opportunities created by gen AI. Here are the key takeaways from the conversation: - Think practically about your route to market. What unmet needs and trends in the current landscape will help you deliver your audacious vision to learners? - Make sure you deliver on all three pillars of an education marketplace: the supply-side (educators), the demand-side (learners) and how your platform delivers the value to them. - To do this, make sure you understand all parts of the business. Don’t delegate or outsource crucial elements because you’re not an expert. - Embrace existential threats. Most things that look like they will kill your business rarely will if you think about things differently and keep moving quickly. - Anticipate trends. But don’t get too far ahead and recognise what is valuable now. The full story is great! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/eeeFatzT ♼ If you like this, please react, comment and reshare!
