Resource for our Video Workshop:  A BIG DVD REMOTE 

It’s dark and I cannot find the pause button, why do they make these remote control buttons so small! Voila, here’s a wonderful solution. A remote that has only the essential buttons that are widely spaced, large size, and in color. Buttons: Menu – Home – Up – Down – Left – Right – Go – Stop – Pause. Great for all those DVD’s that now come with interactive quizzes.


How to use it for Teaching in the video workshop:

Movie is over, any questions/discussion I specific want covered is now done or for those days you get more silence or stony stairs than responses (haven’t we all had those days).

• Now I pick a child who will have control of the remote for the first interactive quiz question.
• Someone reads the question, someone else (or me) reads off the possible answers.
• As a group they decide on what they think is the correct answer.
• Then the person in charge of the remote selects the groups choice using the remote up and down arrows.
• Cheers all around if we get it right!
• Remote passed on to next person and we continue this way with each question.
• Kid’s love it – and they all participate – as you’ll have everyone’s undivided attention!

DVD's Series with Interactive Quizzes:

• Nest - have added 3 quizzes per title (older DVD's will not have quizzes), always check out the questions beforehand as many of the movies cover more than one story. Questions and answers to choose from appear on screen but are not read aloud for you. Often they will group the questions to cover each story line. So if you may not have time to do all three be sure to focus in on the quiz that focuses on the story line that you want most to review. If the kid’s get the answer wrong you can also click and see a replay of that specific section of the movie that answers the question. They can do this before or after they answer each question. This is a big hit with the kids at my own church.
