Summary:A push has been made over the past decade to utilize “short and sweet” media clips in the classroom to engage students with the material while being cognizant of shortening attention spans. While useful, short clips may lack depth and not be able to connect topics across lessons. Longer video clips often have depth, but students may not be as engaged with the material. This paper presents a method of “breaking” longer clips into smaller segments to account for potential attention deficits and integrates classroom discussion in between segments to engage students with the material.
