Video effect
Video effect is a term used to describe the fact that young children learn better from face to face demonstrations by a parent or an instructor than when the similar presentations are presented on a video. This means that in as much as most teachers may appreciate the technology in teaching, it may not be the best option. For instance, most parents have exposed their children to the use of computers and televisions in learning. There are some programs in stations that most parents feel their kids should not miss watching because they believe they are educative. However, by being aware of the video effect, the parents realize that the kids are not interpreting the information effectively and hence encourage them to read their textbooks or even note given by instructors.
Awareness of the video effect will also influence most teachers to discourage online learning. Most learners may not concentrate fully on what is being taught online and, hence, miss vital information. The use of computer games, toys, and other playing gadgets will be discouraged. Parents and teachers will encourage kids to play with their colleagues. Interaction with other kids enables children to be confident and improves their language skills.
