Video can help a speaker connect with an audience and demonstrate a concept. With short videos like IGTV episodes, content creators can connect with a larger audience of educators. As a blogger who focuses on sharing educational technology tips, I always want to make sure this information is actionable. Although some people prefer to read a few hundred words on a topic, others like to hear from the author and see a few examples pop up on the screen.
The consumable videos increasingly available on IGTV are perfect for educators looking for a quick overview, a new idea or a solution to a problem. It’s not about replacing books, articles, or blog posts. It’s about providing a medium for more people to easily access information. The explainer videos, tutorials and short video messages we know from YouTube are making their way to IGTV. I hope you’ll jump into this platform to learn, share and connect with educators around the world!
