There will always be students who assume that a film being shown equates to a free period, devoid of learning.  And while there are some teachers who might feel the same, the fact remains that there is so much the film industry has to offer the world of education.  With more and more streaming services available and improved classroom technology, incorporating films and/or film clips has never been easier.  Moreover, some students are visual learners and can, therefore, benefit from seeing a visual representation of something being discussed in class.  Teachers enrolled in this course will review the necessary checks to ensure that films are appropriately and effectively selected.  Together, we will explore the best ways to incorporate these films into lessons that are engaging and purposeful.
