Using videos to enhance learning

The second grader’s eyes were wide open gazing at the leaf. He had never seen so many colors before his eyes. You see, he had lived his whole life in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He had never before known leaves to change color.
Once I moved back to Washington, in 2004, I made a video for grade 2 students at the American International School in Riyadh. I collected leaves all fall and mailed a huge collection to them and then sent them this video. As they watched the video, they had the leaves in their hands. Now they could see, feel, touch and understand a bit more about what happens when leaves change color.
