Instructional Ideas

• View this video during a computer programming lesson on creating statements in JavaScript
• Occasionally pause the video to add more detailed instruction, answer questions, and allow students to follow along
• Allow pupils to view the video independently, completing a set of coding tasks afterward to demonstrate their learning

Classroom Considerations

• This video is hosted on YouTube

Pros

• Presenter uses screen capture to visually model the coding concepts described in the video
• Thorough explanations are provided for each line of code

Cons

• Content material is a little dry, and may not fully engage all learners
• Resource is a YouTube video, which may or may not be permitted by your school site's Internet usage policy
